Under the Radar and CULTUREBOT present a series of round table conversations on the most current and compelling ideas at work in the field of contemporary theater and the conditions in which it is being made. Join leading practitioners, thinkers and supporters of cutting edge theater for lively discussions on the state of the field and what the future might hold.

From Caryl Churchill and Joint Stock to Anne Washburn and The Civilians, the role of the playwright in collaborative processes has been both creatively compelling and logistically complicated. What are the rewards and challenges of the playwright working in collaboration with directors, actors and ensembles; what questions arise about authorship, ownership and what defines “a play”? Join Culturebot and a collection of creative theater-makers for a fun and freewheeling discussion of the past, present and future of the playwright.
