Beginning Stages: New Play Workshop

Time: 2:00pm
Tickets: $8 at the box office, $10 at the door (free for all Festival Pass Holders)

Each season Festival 56 seeks out new, unproduced plays from talented playwrights and develops them in a workshop setting, presenting them to the public in a staged reading format during the final week of the festival. This process is an important step in a new play's journey to opening night, and your participation and feedback is most welcome.

The play for this season has not been selected yet, but as soon as it is, we will post it here. Check back with us soon for more details!
