Regional Best

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.

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