Thanks to all who support us.
We're working on unique ways to present the intimate, compelling stories we're known for. Right now, we're excited to announce the 9th NEWvember New Plays Festival will be presented by our colleagues at AboutFACE Ireland, straight from Dublin. We helped read plays, the selections have been made, and we will be involved in a few ways.

The NEWvember New Plays Festival was co-created by Tangent Theatre Company and AboutFACE Ireland in 2011, in Tivoli, New York...and expanded to Dublin in 2017. NEWvember presents rehearsed readings of new works submitted over the summer. The spirit of the festival is provide a dynamic, interactive and comfortable place where writers can hear their plays read in a professioanl setting, and discuss their work and creative process with the audience.

The NEWvember festival will be presented by AboutFACE in Dublin this year, via Zoom.

ART MATTERS.



Thank you OBLONG BOOKS! 

Thanks to everyone who came to our evening with playwright Richard Nelson, in conversation with Michael Rhodes on March 21, 2019. It was a packed house, full of insightful discussion, questions and stories. We had a great time! A fundraiser for Tangent too, we received 20% of the proceeds that night.

"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing with all of our hearts
and guts and minds."

"Tangent reminds us of why theatre matters...of its capacity to illuminate,
to inspire, to make the world new."
- Playwright Arthur Holden, Battered
