JAW: A Playwrights Festival is Portland Center Stage’s developmental festival of new work for the stage. Every summer, PCS gathers together a company of professional playwrights, directors, actors, dramaturgs and other collaborators, who dedicate ten days of intense workshop time to some of the nation’s most innovative works in progress. The Festival culminates in concert presentations of the plays, and includes a full slate of performance events, forums and other free activities.

Now that this year’s festival is over, you can read Marty Hughley’s JAW wrap-up here
