The Cimientos 2015 program at the IATI Theater in New York City brings together a selection of what contemporary playwriting has to offer in the most exhilarating of forms.

Now in its 15th year, this play development program continues to fuel the genesis of theater: the playwright. With an array of national and cross-continental writers, Cimientos will be the host to the bravest of theatrical statements; all plays are not created equal and our avant-garde is a solemn cry into what theater can and should do today.
