We here at UP lament the postponement of Lizzie Donahue's A BARN PLAY. We are committed to its production during our 2020-21 season. We find some solace in knowing that our play was only one of countless productions from around the world that were cut short, postponed, or canceled outright.

In the interest of honoring new works that were on the cusp of taking their next step before outside forces intervened, UP is issuing a call for scripts of new plays whose readings, workshops, or productions were impacted by the Coronavirus. We will select up to eight plays to present as readings during our 2020-21 season.

We are calling this series "Renewal" - the opposite of "canceled - and we hope to breathe new life into this work.

To say that these are uncertain times feels trite. So we will instead say that we will get through them and that we look forward to seeing you on the other side.
