  • "Not only did Nouveau give COYOTE a solid and well-received world premiere production, but the process helped me finalize the script in preparation for a future on stages elsewhere. All this is to say that through Nouveau 47 I certainly feel now that Dallas is a place where I am welcome to come and co-create a piece of theatre and premiere one of my plays."
    - Kevin Kautzman, Playwright


    "I felt comfortable with the developmental process and felt that the insight from the members of the panel, critics, artistic directors, and playwrights, equipped me with enough strategic advice to take my play to the next level."
    - Mike Schraeder, Playwright
