Curious Modern Plays develops new work for the stage. It was founded by playwright and producer Randall Huskinson.
Work is built from idea → writing → collaboration/workshopping → rewriting → production, with an emphasis on what truly lands with an audience.
Projects range widely in setting and form, but return to the same question: what happens when people are placed inside a system—family, workplace, community—and the pressure begins to reveal who they really are?
Development spans the U.S. and U.K., moving from readings and workshops toward production through partnerships with directors, actors, and producing organizations.
New Work for the Contemporary Stage.
Stories where pressure reveals
who people are.
