Every year, the Telluride Playwrights Festival selects a small group of playwrights to work with professional writers, directors, actors, and dramaturges from all over the country as they refine their work.   This year's theme is Theatre Politicos as plays focus on thought-provoking, hard=hitting and entertaining subjects that explore the "personal as political."
