Join us for the 21st Annual New Works Festival! 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! We can’t wait to share this journey with you. See you at the festival!
Each pass entitles you to a ticket to one performance of each of this year’s four shows and more*!
*Festival pass holders get access to Meet the Artist and a Gio Bday Event!
You can buy individual tickets to any of our readings for $25 apiece! Just click the button of the show you’re interested in seeing below!

Celebrate the start of our 21st annual New Works Festival with dinner, drinks, and the beat box stylings.
After dinner, prepare for an unforgettable keynote from Carlos Aguirre (actor, musician, vocal percussionist, educator).
Audiences at the TheatreWorks NWF will get the first peek at the extensive remodeling underway at the Lucie Stern Theatre. The new space is not quite finished, the handsome new plush seats will not be installed yet so you will be sitting on temporary chairs (with foam padding). When our audiences return to the Lucie Stern in December for Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberly it will be to a gorgeous new space, with comfy new seats and increased accessibility for all!
