BLUEBARN Theatre Joins National New Play Network

BLUEBARN Theatre (www.bluebarn.org) is honored to join the National New Play Network as an Associate Member!

BLUEBARN has long been Omaha’s home for professional contemporary theatre, bringing diverse perspectives, new voices, and provocative work to our community.

BLUEBARN is thrilled to join the ranks of professional theatres across the country evolving and exploring the frontiers of the American theatre.

National New Play Network (NNPN; www.nnpn.org) is the country’s alliance of non-profit professional theaters dedicated to the development, production, and continued life of new plays. Since its founding in 1998, NNPN has supported more than 250 productions nationwide through its innovative National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere program. Its annual National Conference, National Showcase of New Plays, and MFA Playwrights Workshop; the NNPN Annual and Smith Prize commissions; its residencies for playwrights, producers and directors-have helped cement the Network’s position as a vital force in the new play landscape.

Its most recent project, the New Play Exchange (www.newplayexchange.org), is changing the way playwrights share their work and others discover it by providing immediate access to information on nearly 17,000 new plays by living writers.Blue

NNPN’s 30 Core and 80 Associate Members – along with the more than 250 affiliated artists who are its alumni, the thousands of artists and artisans employed annually by its member theaters, and the hundreds of thousands of audience members who see its supported works each year – are creating the new American theater.
