The Lark Play Development Center and the Indo-American Arts Council announced their selections for the 16th Annual Playwrights Week Festival, selecting Bekah Brunstetter (Drama '07) as one of this year’s participants. Eight plays were chosen for development from over 600 submissions, which included Brunstetter’s Miss Lily Gets Boned.

The playwrights will spend a weeklong residency at the Lark developing their work with professional actors, a director, and Lark staff; they will then present that work in a public reading during the Festival, which runs September 30-October 4.

Plays developed at the Lark regularly go on to full productions at theaters across the globe. Some of last years participants from throughout the U.S. whose plays were produced included Katori Hall’s The Mountaintop which played in London’s West End; Tracey Scott Wilson’s The Good Negro produced by the Public Theater in New York; and Rajiv Joseph’s Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo which premiered at Center Theatre Group in Los Angeles.
