Playwrights involved in the festival include Cyrpess native Robert Askins, Bekah Brunstetter, Christina Gorman, Rajiv Joseph and Kenneth Lin. Plus there’s a world premiere of Syncing Ink, a hip-hop production from playwright and performer NSangou Njikam.
Houston Matters producer Paige Phelps finds out why the Alley is highlighting brand new works — and why audiences should come to watch a staged reading of a play. She talks with playwrights Askins and Njikam along with the Alley’s Elizabeth Frankel.
