15Years and CountingDear Friends,It is with a sense of great pride that I invite you to take part incelebrating PlayPenn’s 15th Anniversary by attending this year’sNew Play Development Conference.About 16 years ago, I realized that there was no organization in our burgeoning theatrecommunity that was solely dedicated to the development of new plays and playwrights. Overthe years, because of the financial support from pioneering donors like you, PlayPenn hasevolved into an essential element in Philadelphia’s theatre community. Today, PlayPenn isone of the premier new play development organizations in the nation.PlayPenn’s work has resulted in productions across the country and around the world. Infact, in our most recent accounting, nearly one million audience members have paid to seePlayPenn-developed plays.And the news just keeps getting more inspiring. This year, to coincide with PlayPenn’s15th Anniversary, our longtime friends and supporters, Leonard Haas and the WyncoteFoundation, have made a significant investment in PlayPenn to fund an extraordinary newprogram. Beginning with this Conference, all Conference playwrights will be designated HaasFellows. This meaningful support is providing resources that are enabling PlayPenn to morethan-double Conference playwright stipends and increase compensation for all Conferenceartists as well as for our exceptional staff , all of whom are dedicated to the advancement ofnew plays and playwrights in Philadelphia and beyond.The Conference would not be possible without the generous support of our 15th AnniversarySponsors – The CHG Charitable Trust, Anne M. Congdon, Linda & David Glickstein, Leonardand Mary Lee Haas, Gretchen and Thomas Quinn and Victor Keen and Jeanne Ruddy – andour Conference Producers, Executive Producers, and Associate Producers, all of whom youwill find acknowledged proudly throughout this brochure.Finally, I thank you. Your belief in us and what we do has made PlayPenn what it is today.Each one of you helps to open the doors of insight to theater artists who rely on thecollaborative process to come to fully understand their work. You, our supporters andour audience members, are our essential partners in helping to pave the way for the nextgeneration of new plays for the American theater.With great admiration and warmest regards,Paul Meshejian
