About
FULL-LENGTH PLAYS AND NEW PLAY DEVELOPMENT. Golden Thread ensures the discovery and development of new playwrights and plays through three distinct programs. Middle East America (MEA): a National New Plays Initiative, created in partnership with the Lark Play Development Center (New York City) and Silk Road Rising (Chicago) is designed to help create a pipeline of high quality plays by Middle EasternAmerican playwrights. MEA winners receive a $10,000 commission and two years of development with possibility of productions in Chicago and San Francisco. Award winners include Adriana Sevahn Nichols (2008), Yussef El Guindi (2011), and Mona Mansour (2014). New Threads: an annual staged reading and workshop series that engages its audience in the process of playmaking and allows writers of Middle Eastern and non-Middle Eastern descent an authentic and supportive space to develop work about the Middle East. Many of the New Threads plays continue on to receive main stage productions. Kimia/Alchemy: programs that facilitate multiyear collaborations that explore rare themes and/or bring together unlikely creative partners. For example, BENEDICTUS (2007) was an international collaboration among Iranian, Israeli and American artists to create a play exploring the political stalemate among the three nations. ECSTASY | A WATERFABLE (2008) was a commission to Egyptian-American writer Denmo Ibrahim to create an ensemble generated performance inspired by a Sufi fable.
