The Colorado New Play Summit has brought playwrights and audiences together for over a decade to experience the evolution of fresh scripts into production-ready pieces. Experience the future of theatre at readings, world premieres, parties and more.
MORE TIME TO PLAY
After workshopping their pieces for a week with professional actors, directors and dramaturgs, playwrights test the waters with the initial readings during our Launch Weekend. The following week is spent fine-tuning their pieces based on the feedback from theatre lovers and creatives alike before presenting revised versions on our Festival Weekend.
NURTURING NEW WORK
Recent Colorado New Play Summit readings that have gone on to be produced around the nation include: American Mariachi by José Cruz González, The Great Leap by Lauren Yee, The Book of Will by Lauren Gunderson, The Legend of Georgia McBride by Matthew Lopez, FADE by Tanya Saracho, and The Whale by Samuel D. Hunter.
