The New Play Festival celebrates the bold new voices of our student playwrights by producing their work in a professional setting. Student playwrights collaborate with seasoned actors, directors, and designers to bring their plays to life. First read-through will be held on Saturday 3/17, with rehearsals Monday through Friday 4/2 – 4/21 from 6:30-9:30pm, and Saturdays 4/14 and 4/21 from 10:00am-5:00pm. (The specific schedule will be determined based on actor availability, and actors will not be expected to rehearse every day.) Technical rehearsals and performances will be held on 4/23 and 4/24. Actors will only be required to perform for one night of the festival. Auditions will be held between 11:00am and 3:00pm on 1/26 and 1/27.
