Our brief video look back at the DCPA Theatre Company’s 2016 Colorado New Play Summit Feb. 12-21 in Denver.

Includes interviews with featured playwrights Lauren Gunderson, Tira Palmquist, José Cruz González and Mat Smart.

“I think everyone who knows new plays knows the Colorado New Play Summit,” said Gunderson, whose play The Book of Will was later chosen for inclusion on the company’s 2016-17 season, as was Palmquist’s Two Degrees.

Interviewees also include local and high-school playwrights whose work was featured as part of Summit activities.
