Founded by David Goldman[1] in 1998, The National New Play Network (NNPN) is the United States' "alliance of nonprofit theaters that champions the development, production, and continued life of new plays."[2]

NNPN Core Values

  1. "New plays are vital to the cultural health of our communities and our nation."
  2. "Playwrights who speak with unique, essential, and influential voices deserve to be championed."
  3. "Diversity across all definitions, throughout our Network and its members, strengthens us and the field."
  4. "Collaboration at all levels and among all parties is indispensable to the creation of new plays." [2]
