Though our first NAKED PLAYS: A New Play Reading Festival for the 2008-2009 season is history, its impact is just beginning to be felt.

This past weekend, we presented three spankin’ new plays for you, written by three gifted writers. But now its your turn as we throw the cue to you. Check out the sidebar to the right of this homepage, and vote on the one play you’d most like to see Naked Stages develop for the future. The play you choose will be presented next season in conjunction with our second NAKED PLAYS FESTIVAL in a workshop production.

Which will it be? Is it DEPENDENCE DAY, Anne Nelson’s moving drama about a Midwestern family’s coming to terms with Life’s difficult choices? Or Lauren Gunderson’s playfully absurdist coming-of-age comedy, THE HALF-LIFE OF JOY, that dares to compare human relationships with nuclear fission? Or the true story of LETTERS FOR SALA, Arlene Hutton’s poignant recounting of the Holocaust through a family’s correspondence?

The decision is yours to make … so make it a good one. We’re waiting to hear what you have to say.
