Regional Best 2011: nine plays with premiers at regional theaters

According to a 2008 NEA report, 2,000 regional theaters in the U.S. were presenting plays and musicals to over 58 million audience members each year. A significant percentage of this work was new plays, often written by playwrights living outside of New York City. Regional Best is a collection of nine of the best of those plays, each of which premiered regionally but with national and international quality.
