23rd ANNUAL New Works Festival
Our 2025 New Works Festival is over and was a great success! More information for our 2026 New Works Festival coming this Spring.
It’s in our DNA at TheatreWorks to gather our friends and family and build community around the creation of new plays for the American theatre. Plays that celebrate the human condition – stories that build understanding, that entertain, that take us to new surroundings, new emotions, and new heights!
