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. Twenty-seven 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.
