New Works Festival

Workhouse Arts Center is proud to announce the First Annual New Works Festival. Workhouse recently announced a call for new scripts (plays and musicals). Scripts were carefully reviewed, and finalists were chosen. On August 24 and 25 finalists will perform a 20–90-minute cut from their full piece in front of the panel and event attendees. The top-scoring piece will win a full-length staged reading in our W3 Theater in early 2025.

Attendees may purchase a single ticket for one selected title, or may purchase a Passport Ticket, which will guarantee admission to all six readings.
