Lauder Made Vol. II
by local playwrights
What does it mean to live here, love here, and reckon with being human here? Short Plays: Lauder Made Vol. II is the second annual festival of world-premiere short plays written and performed entirely by South Florida artists — born out of New City Players’ monthly playwright development program, NCPLab.
Since its pandemic-era origins as a twice-monthly Zoom gathering, NCPLab has grown into one of Fort Lauderdale’s most vibrant incubators for new theatrical work. Each month, local playwrights respond to a prompt, submit new short plays, and gather at LauderAle Brewery to read, discuss, and develop their work together. Lauder Made is where the best of that year rises to the stage.
This volume features five world-premiere plays spanning comedy, romance, grief, and raw personal reckoning — all written by South Florida playwrights, all made right here.
Lauder Made Vol. II is local theatre at its most essential: honest, surprising, and made by the community it reflects.
