A new professional theater is opening in Ann Arbor that will only put on new plays, with a special focus on building up Michigan playwrights.
Theatre Nova is renting performance space in an old renovated barn on a shoe string budget, says artistic director Carla Milarch.
“We did a little mini fund drive in like the last three weeks of December and were able to raise about $20,000."
She says they still need to raise another $11,000 in the next several weeks, but they've got enough to start performances in March.
