InterAct celebrates its continuing tradition of developing and cultivating new work with the announcement of the creation of the 20/20 Commissions, an ambitious initiative in which InterAct will award 20 new play commissions over the next six seasons. The recipients of the first round of 20/20 Commissions will be announced at the February 11 gala event.
