This production launches the Page to Stage Program at LPC. Page To Stage is a program that gives playwrights within the LPC community the opportunity to receive a production depending on the needs of the play. Page to Stage was made possible in part by the Creatives Rebuild New York grant. Sancocho was originally developed at LPC’s Sunday Service and at the Fresh Draft Series.
