• The Pack joined students at the WildWind Performance Lab at Texas Tech University for a week of classes and new play development.

    Classes taught included: Acting for Camera, Clowning, Physical Acting Methods, Accents, Play Analysis, and New Work Collaboration Methods.

  • Initially commissioned by Artists Repertory Theatre, Wolf Play received its Off-Broadway premiere in 2022 at SoHo Rep Theatre in association with Ma-Yi Theater Company. The critically acclaimed production transferred to MCC Theater in 2023 and featured all members of The Pack. In 2023, Wolf Play won five Lucille Lortel Awards including Outstanding Play, Outstanding Director, Outstanding Ensemble, Outstanding Sound Design (Kate Marvin), and Outstanding Set Design (You-Shin Chen). Hansol Jung, Dustin Willis, Barbera Samuels, and Enver Chakartash were awarded the 2023 Obie Awards for playwriting, direction, lighting, and costumes, respectively.

  • The Pack was selected for a week-long residency at The Ground Floor, a new work development residency in Berkeley, CA. In the span of one week(!), the first draft of The Raisins, Or, In Defense of Temporary Despair was completed and presented in a public reading.

  • In response to the closing of The Lark’s Roundtable program (RIP), the Pack initiated a writer-driven reading series to provide the simple resources that all writers and drafts need most: actors, space, and time. Project Nightingale partners with new work institutions that commit resources for this inclusive development model, as opposed to only dedicating space to their commissioned writers. Current partners include: Creative Arts Agency, New York Theater Workshop, The Public and Ma-Yi Theater Company. Our casting model is primarily writer-driven with an end goal of creating a public database of new work actors that will be accessible to serve peer-to-peer casting needs as opposed to solely remaining behind the doors of a casting office.

    Participating writers have included: Nissy Aya, C. Julian JimΓ©nez, CA Johnson, and Shayan Lotfi. Project Nightingale aims to curate future reading series that benefit playwrights of varying career, economic, and educational levels to ensure these vital resources are spread far and wide within the new play community.
