Momentary's New Play Expedition is a journey to find new plays; a new works commission series where the process merits as much production as the finished product. Over the next several months, we will bring you inside the minds and methods of Caroline Macon Fleischer and Nahal Navidar as they start from nothing to develop something that reflects an intersection between their own missions and Momentary's.
