Producer Teresa Fisher details the season selection process for New Plays for Young Audiences at Provincetown Playhouse.

Teresa Fisher, who recently wrote a book on post-show discussions, presents helpful suggestions how to structure and facilitate effective post-show discussions.

Yet after reading about staged readings and their role in play development, I hit a roadblock. I couldn’t come up with a definition that addressed every possible scenario. More vexingly, I couldn’t figure out how to negotiate concrete meanings for words like “minimal” and “basic” that are often used when discussing staged reading elements. Despite the many points of agreement found when looking at various discussions, there are too many differences in definition to develop a clear picture of what exactly a staged reading is or how it should look.
