Habitat: Home New York City premiered one year ago this fall. What are Habitat: Home artists up to now?
Featured Artist Update from: Melisa Tien, Writer
I’m part of an anthology of plays called Theater Artists Making Theatre With No Theater. Written in Spring 2020, published in Fall 2020. Last time I checked (yesterday) it was the #1 New Release in Drama and Play Anthologies on Amazon. The proceeds go to theater artists in need.
