The WRIGHT Way

Committed to developing the next generation of NC State playwrights, The WRIGHT Way Series features workshops, readings, and masterclasses whose primary focus is supporting winners of the Creative Artist Award through the development of their award-winning plays — the right way.

Follow a group of West Virginia college students, faculty, and staff dealing with the difficulties of adult life and the ethics of campus politics as 1969 turns into 1970. When scandal rocks their university, they must face the mounting problems that challenge their relationships, research, and obligations to themselves and their community.

Upcoming readings…

All readings are held in Kennedy-McIlwee Studio Theatre and are free to attend. Pre-registration is recommended. Select the date(s) you would like to attend below.
