Our Mission
The goal of LPI is to reintroduce remarkable playwrights and plays from the recent past to a new generation of theater makers, students and audiences. LPI encourages the teaching of the plays of its awardees, plays which once reached wide audiences, addressing important artistic and social themes. We are working with a variety of new play organizations to include the LPI winning plays in their repertories. For these major artists, who paved the way and are still among us, most important of all is support: from professional & university productions, from students purchasing their plays for classroom use and from student productions inviting the authors or their representatives to be a part of the work. These are our most successful elders, and moving forward we hope they will continue to be guiding lights to a new generation.
