STEP stands for Second Thought Emerging Playwrights and its inaugural series is a three-part online program focused on the process of creating a new play. The first STEP program was in December and the second part is January 28. The series wraps up on February 19 as part of the theater’s annual fundraiser, Second Thought State of Mind.
