Bread and Wine promotes the development of new concepts on the stage. From a script perspective, original work will always be part of the company's seasons. While this original work may come from the outside as finalized drafts, Bread and Wine puts on collaborating with playwrights to originate new work. Table Reads are a key part of our artistic model. These include both readings of scripts with no production plans as well as at times committing to producing a play whose early drafts we believe in and walking with the playwright through the entire process from first table read to final production. From a producing perspective, this means we are open to innovative and collaborative ways of sharing theatre with the world. Past examples of this include adding Irish dance to highlight the deeper spiritual realities of a story, doing performances at non-traditional theatre venues (such as the Historic Sappington House’s library), and putting on events that merge music, food, lectures, and performance exhibits.
