The third level of development is a workshop series we call Angels in Progress. Selected plays are rehearsed for an intensive two to three week period, resulting in some form of public performance, chosen to most accurately serve the playwright’s goal for the piece. AIP plays are pared down to their essence, minimizing everything but the most basic elements of technical production. By focusing on the performance and the text itself, the artist can commit to the task at hand: refining a promising new piece of theater.
