Underground New Play Festival

The Underground New Play Festival strives to find the unfamiliar in the familiar, providing a venue for developing theatre artists to explore. The end result is a richly textured, highly physicalized theatre that shows the infinite number of contradictions and similarities contained in each human.

Every year, the Festival selects and mounts full productions of 6-8 world premiere short plays. New and experienced directors, designers, and actors join together to create works of art bigger than any one person could hope for, works of art that could not exist as they do in any other place, with any other artists.
