A People's History of 13P

Essentially a free online course about funding, promoting, and producing plays in NYC, the documentary film and website A People's History of 13P is now live at http://www.13p.org/

The film, the website, and the archive of materials and documents included were commissioned by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as part of a 2009 grant to complete our organizational mission. The goal of the History is to enable entrepreneurial artists to learn from our experiences and steal anything they like from our producing model.

The site includes interviews with playwrights Sheila Callaghan, Erin Courtney, Madeleine George, Ann Marie Healy, Julia Jarcho, Young Jean Lee, Winter Miller, Sarah Ruhl, Kate E. Ryan, Lucy Thurber, Anne Washburn, and Gary Winter, as well as Maria Goyanes (Public Theater), Caleb Hammons (Soho Rep), Rachel Silverman (New York Theatre Workshop), and others in the field.
