Cornish Theater's annual Winter New Works Festival is a series of readings of new plays by members of the senior class in the Theater/Original Works program. The writers collaborate on the development of their scripts with professional directors and dramaturgs, and casts of Cornish Theater students.
Proceeds from this event provide core funding to Cornish student scholarships which means that your ticket purchase today directly benefits the arts education of our Cornish students! Thank you in advance for your support!
