The Kiln is back!
The Kiln is an artist-centered incubator for the development of new theatrical works. For the third year, a diverse group of playwrights, multi-hyphenate artists, directors, dramaturgs and performers from around the country will gather here in Malvern, PA to strengthen creative relationships, forge deep ties to local communities, and cultivate important new work for the American theatre.
The Kiln 2025 features projects led by a remarkable group of artists. Their works are all in very different stages of development, ranging from the early steps of writing and exploration to almost production-ready.

Cast (alphabetical)
Julian: Charlie DelMarcelle

Ma: Marcia Saunders
The pigs are stressed, Liv won’t eat, and Ma wants everyone to follow the Constitutions. Set in a modern-day commune on the outskirts of the Chihuahuan desert in Texas, this new play about our need for community, asks why the line between delusion and what the rest of us believe, is getting blurrier than ever.
