What is the Play Right Project? In an effort to enlighten and empower audiences with information about the process involved in creating theatrical arts, at the same time that we engineer and increase opportunities for SC theatre artists to create and perform new works of theatre arts , the Jasper Project created a new series of audience-friendly plays called the Play Right Series.

The development process is facilitated by Community Producers—audience members invested in the development process and supportive of the state’s theatrical and literary talent who exchange a modest financial contribution for the experience.

“Development,” in this case, means round-table readings and discussions with a paid professional director, cast, and crew, and attended by Community Producers and other professionals, followed by rehearsals, and a public presentation of a fully realized staged reading.

A final version of the winning play is published and filed with the Library of Congress, with copies distributed to the winning playwright as well as industry leaders in the area and are available for purchase for $10.

Professor Jon Tuttle serves as the Project Manager for the Jasper Project’s Play Right Series.
