NEW CITY, NEW BLOOD READINGS SERIES

For 35 years, Pulitzer Prize winning THEATER FOR THE NEW CITY has nurtured hundreds of playwrights through its EMERGING PLAYWRIGHTS PROGRAM. In June, 2006, we launched NEW CITY , NEW BLOOD, a play reading series designed to serve our audiences and writers even better. Curated by Michael Scott-Price, TNC Literary Manager, NEW CITY , NEW BLOOD will provide a hearing for worthy plays in earlier stages of Development. Audiences will get the opportunity to provide feedback, and artists will gain valuable insight from audience response.

Bio
Connor Ratliff wrote the original screenplay for the award-winning independent feature film Living In Missouri, which premiered at the Austin Film Festival in 2001.  He also co-produced the film and played a leading role.  A graduate of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), he made his professional acting debut in the role of June in Christopher Shinn’s Four at the Royal Court Theatre in London.  He has written and performed as part of The 24 Hour Plays at the Atlantic Theater, and his 10-minute play “Tobias, Angel Of Heaven” was included as part of their 10th anniversary “Best Of” program in the 2006 Fringe Festival.  His first full-length play, Disposables, was produced by Boom Boom in 2005 at the CSV Cultural Center.
