Anyone Remember Paul Meshejian?

In early July PlayPenn, Philadelphia's professional new play development organization, held its third annual New Play Development Conference , helping to refine six new works. This news story appeared on PlayBill recently. The conference culminates in free, public staged readings July 19-21.

Paul Meshejian, artistic director of PlayPenn, was once the artistic director of the Jackson Civic Theatre. In the late 70s and early 80s Paul was responsible for high quality productions of I Never Sang for My Father, Vanities, 6 Rooms Riv View, The Doctor in Spite of Himself, and many others.

PlayPenn's mission "is to support the development of the written word and those who use it to create new plays for the American theatre."
