Check out this article on Howlround about TDPS' international collaboration with the Kennedy Center's Theater for Young Audiences for last year's New Visions/New Voices festival.

With assistance in playwright recruitment from three international collaborators and program support led by Scot Reese and Faedra Chatard Carpenter at the University of Maryland’s School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies (UMD), the 2016 IPI featured nine playwrights– five from South Africa (Lereko Mfono, Koleka Putuma, Samson M. Mlambo, Tamara Schulz, and Jon Keevy), three from India (Sunil Bannur, Deepika Arwind, and Vinati Makijany), and one from Korea (Choon-Keun Park).
