Regional Best

Second in the annual series of the best plays that have had a premier in a regional theater, but no NYC premier.

According to a 2008 NEA report, 2,000 regional theaters in the U.S. were presenting plays and musicals to over 58 million audience members each year. A significant percentage of this work was new plays, often written by playwrights living outside of New York City. Regional Best is a collection of nine of the best of those plays, each of which premiered regionally but with national and international quality.
