Our 2025 Harvest: 6 new plays and 3 new musicals!
a project of MW Entertainment Group Inc., Mitch Weiss Producing Artistic Director / MWEntGroup@gmail.com

Why The FARM?
Since 2019, we've been here to support a process that helps writers create new, powerful, commercial, and entertaining content for the future of The Theater! A writer's first draft is never the work of art they intended. New original stories need cultivating and time. They may need years of readings and workshops but eventually theater's masterpieces are born. We're here for that process!
(our story continues on the next page... and the next page...)
SAVE THE DATES!
LAST COFFEE IN ROCKVILLE a 2-character musical by Julián Mesri, directed by Estefanía Fadul. Two young Latiné lovers chase the “American Dream” in this original musical. Unaware that their lives were entangled before their chance meeting at a Maryland coffee shop, both are blindsided when past events and immigration stand in the way of their love story. Starring Robert Ariza and Sara Ornelas. Sat/Sun Sept 6,7 at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater,
304 W.47th Street @ 8th Ave. NYC. "Wonderful! This absolutely deserves a long Off-Broadway run."
