Pavement Group
Pavement Group is a Chicago based collaborative of theatre artists who see emerging voices to produce fresh plays that make contact with new audiences.
We strive to lay the foundation–both pragmatic and institutional–that fosters fresh plays and makes contact with new audiences. Through development, dramaturgy, and the pairing of playwrights and directors, Pavement Group provides the artistic and practical atmosphere needed for great plays to reach fruition. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pavementgroup/

"Instead of the “big events” that are the focus of many plays, we were looking at all the other stuff. The vivid nostalgia and sadness you feel, for example, when you think back on the silly details of the day you spent BEFORE receiving life-altering news"
