NEA Grant Supports Trinity Rep's World Premiere "Social Creatures"

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced back in November that Trinity Repertory Company was one of 832 non-profit organizations nationwide to receive an NEA Art Works grant which they would use to support the world premiere of award-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury's Social Creatures in March/April 2013 as part of their 2012-2013 mainstage season.

Directed by Trinity Rep's Richard L. Bready Artistic Director Curt Columbus, Social Creatures is set in the aftermath of an international pandemic that has decimated humanity. A motley group of survivors is trying desperately to avoid contracting the illness that turns people into something indescribable.

Social Creatures was commissioned by Trinity Rep in 2010, and developed through the theater's annual creative workshop to nurture and develop new ideas and artists. It follows in the tradition of several other mainstage productions that have resulted from these workshops, including The Completely Fictional - Utterly True - Final Strange Tale of Edgar Allan Poe, Love Alone, and Some Things are Private.
