9th Annual New Works Festival

IAMA’s New Works Festival gives audiences an early look at future hits and allows playwrights to experience public reaction to their work for the first time. Since 2018, IAMA’s New Works Festival has emerged as IAMA’s leading development and community engagement program, providing the first step in curating new plays of artistic excellence to be considered for future productions. The Festival invites the local community into the creative process and welcomes social gatherings and discussions following each play presentation. Audiences are invited to spark important dialogue, connection, and creative exchange, both on and off the stage. New works developed during the Festival have gone on to full, world premiere productions not only at IAMA, but at theaters across the country.
