Playwrights Union First Peek 2024 June 8-16 at City Garage Theatre

We hope you can join the Playwrights Union for our 14th Annual FIRST PEEK reading series featuring brand new work drafted during our February Writing Challenge. Come participate in the process as we explore the creation of nine new full-length plays, hosted by our friends at City Garage in Santa Monica’s Bergamot Station Arts Center.

Raise a glass and share a snack with us before and between readings… and join us for a toast at the end of each evening to celebrate all!

Admission to all FIRST PEEK readings is FREE; due to limited seating reservations are highly suggested. Donations are welcome!
