Playwrights for Tomorrow was first published in 1966. Minnesota
Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable
books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the
original University of Minnesota Press editions. This is the second
volume of a collection of plays by writers who have participated in
an experimental program at the University of Minnesota under the
auspices of the Office for Advanced Drama Research, of which Arthur
H. Ballet is the director. Three young playwrights, Maria Irene
Fornes, Nick Bortez, and Lee H. Kalcheim, are represented in the
collection with two one-act plays and two three-act plays. Under
the program, which is described by Dr. Ballet in his introduction,
promising young playwrights are given assistance in developing
their talents. Among other opportunities, they are offered the
chance to have their plays actually produced. The plays in this
volume are Tango Palace and The Successful Life of Three: A Skit
for Vaudeville,two one-act plays by Maria Irene Fornes; Shelter
Area, a three-act play by Nick Boretz; and The Boy Who Came to
Leave,a three-act play by Lee H. Kalcheim. In addition to the
scripts, each playwright provides a discussion of his work in a
preface. Production data for each play are given also. Both of the
plays by Miss Fornes were produced at the Firehouse Theatre in
Minneapolis, and Tango Palace also was given at the Actor's
Workshop in San Francisco. Shelter Area was presented in the
Playwrights' Premiere Season at the University of Minnesota. Mr.
Kalcheim's play was given at the Theatre in the Round, Minneapolis.
The plays in this volume and in Volume 1 of the collection range
widely in theme and subject matter but they share a common trait -
each represents a new and exciting voice in the American theatre.
