NEW STORIES. EXCITING WORK. STRONG VOICES. LIVE & VIRTUAL
“Our New Work Festival is an exploration and celebration of exciting new voices in American Theater. With workshops, a panel discussion and talk-backs – both live and online – the Festival is the newest arm of our commitment to the development of important new plays.
To that end, we gave five exceptional playwrights space, time and support to bring each of their projects to the next stage in its developmental journey. Immerse yourself in these extraordinary stories and be a part of the wonderfully creative process that brings them to stage – it’s always better when we do it together. Thanks for being here!”
