Abstract
This essay explores the role that risk, both real and perceived, plays in new play programming and new play development. Drawing on two recent articles that argue that the institutional theatre in the United States has embraced the needs of the institution over the art, the author deconstructs the assumption of risk that surrounds programming decisions, and argues that the tendency towards "risk management" over risk taking is antithetical to the very act of new play creation.
