http://finearts.unm.edu/events/events.htm UNM College of Fine Arts - Events en The University of New Mexico Department of Theatre and Dance’s award winning Dramatic Writing Program is pleased to announce the debut of the New American Plays Initiative, a partnership with the prestigious Drama League of New York City. Three innovative young Drama League directors shape the premieres and readings of our new plays during the 9th Annual Words Afire Festival, April 24 through May 3, 2009, in Rodey Theatre and The Experimental Theatre on UNM’s Main Campus. This collaboration will not only provide the MFA student writers with professional connections and experiences, but the association between the two programs will bring increased professional awareness to the UNM Department of Theatre and Dance. The guest directors, Michael Goldfried, Lauren Keating, and Kerry Whigham are all part of the Directors Project of the Drama League of New York. Now in its twenty-fifth year, The Directors Project has advanced the careers of over 220 talented young directors and has become the preeminent development program for new directors -- providing talented young artists with experiences in the professional theatrical world.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UNMCollegeOfFineArtsEvents?a=NYXupXVuomY:UrvZIQFb3Zc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UNMCollegeOfFineArtsEvents?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UNMCollegeOfFineArtsEvents?a=NYXupXVuomY:UrvZIQFb3Zc:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UNMCollegeOfFineArtsEvents?i=NYXupXVuomY:UrvZIQFb3Zc:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UNMCollegeOfFineArtsEvents?a=NYXupXVuomY:UrvZIQFb3Zc:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UNMCollegeOfFineArtsEvents?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UNMCollegeOfFineArtsEvents?a=NYXupXVuomY:UrvZIQFb3Zc:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UNMCollegeOfFineArtsEvents?i=NYXupXVuomY:UrvZIQFb3Zc:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UNMCollegeOfFineArtsEvents?a=NYXupXVuomY:UrvZIQFb3Zc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UNMCollegeOfFineArtsEvents?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://www4.unm.edu/theatre/waf/index.php
