TCG Announces New Partnership With Drama Online
TCG will partner with Drama Online, the leading global digital hub for the study and performance of plays, to launch a Theatre Communications Group Play Collection on their digital platform in early 2022. The partnership will make the works of playwrights such as Lee Breuer, Nilo Cruz, Sarah Ruhl, Richard Nelson, and Ping Chong, among many others, available digitally for the educational market for the first time.
Teresa Eyring states, "TCG's mission is to lead for a just and thriving theatre ecology, one in which great plays are widely read and appreciated. Through this exciting new partnership with Bloomsbury Publishing's Drama Online, students and teachers across the globe will have expanded access to the work of TCG authors and playwrights. TCG Books has always believed that plays are literature, deserving of the same care and attention as novels, poetry, and other forms of the written word. We look forward to helping the next generation of theatre-makers and theatre-lovers discover the power of dramatic literature through Bloomsbury Publishing's online hub."
"The TCG list is home to a wide range of preeminent and innovative writers whose work students and theatre practitioners will be eager to read alongside the other play texts, works of criticism and the growing range of performance video content Drama Online already offers them," adds Jenny Ridout, Managing Director of Non-Consumer Publishing, Bloomsbury Publishing PLC. "As the most prominent play publisher in North America, TCG represents an incredible collection of authors that accounts for 18 Pulitzer Prize-winners for Drama. From long-established giants of American theatre to the most prolific rising stars of contemporary theatre, we are excited about the scope and depth that this collection brings to the groundbreaking Drama Online platform."
