Designed to add a step in the new play development process between a staged reading and a full production, EST’s “RoughCut Productions” are fully-rehearsed, minimally-produced performances of new plays written by and featuring EST member artists.
The RoughCuts program was started in 2009 as part of an effort to place a stronger focus on full-lengths in EST’s new play development efforts.
