Northwest Theatre Workshop's Creative Evolution * Oregon ArtsWatch
"was her dedication to building an effective and repeatable new play development process. Since taking the helm in 2015, she has shaped a company that thrives on analysis, collaboration, and invention. Under her direction, NWTW became a proving ground for new plays and playwrights in a city known for its scrappy originality. Now, as she prepares to step down, Guerin leaves behind more than a record of productions. She leaves a blueprint: a way of creating, developing and producing new work that survives upheaval and uncertainty."
"You can see the results of that process in this month's NWTW Founders' Showcase, featuring a pair of staged readings of long-incubating plays by NWTW stalwarts. This Saturday and Sunday brings Brad Bolchunos's Unmediated, about a reporter uncovering strange doings in a small Oregon town where the decline of trustworthy information sources has produced confusion and contention over what's real and what isn't."
Ciji Guerin led Northwest Theatre Workshop (NWTW) for a decade after founding the company in 2015 with Wayne Harrel and George Taylor. She oversaw 57 productions and readings and established an effective, repeatable new play development process centered on analysis, collaboration, and invention. NWTW became an incubator and proving ground for new plays and playwrights in Oregon. Guerin is stepping aside from her leadership role while encouraging the company to explore a different organizational model. The NWTW Founders' Showcase presents staged readings of Brad Bolchunos's Unmediated and Wayne Harrel and Craig Bidondo's Do That Dance.
