     open to all artists and audience members.

How It Started

In 1991, company playwrights Frank Pugliese, Pippin Parker, and others watched the Gulf War’s broadcast on television and felt compelled to write about it. Giving themselves a weekly deadline, they began meeting on a regular basis to share their experiences, and thus Tuesdays@9 was born. Thirty-two years later, the program is still an arena for new works hot off the press.

Note to the Community:

  • Tuesdays@9 is an open, supportive, and communal environment. You may show up at any point during the season and be welcomed into the community. Attend a lot, attend a little—we’re always here.
