Colorado New Play Summit

Our stories start with you… Watching a play spring to life on stage might make you believe in magic. But before a story can sweep you off into another world, it takes a whole lot of humanity to make it possible. After coaxing an idea into a script, playwrights can rely on the expertise of dramaturgs, directors, and other writers to guide them through the editing process. But nothing compares to presenting a piece to a live audience, where the real-time reactions of a crowd elevate words into something more. 

At the Colorado New Play Summit, it’s your time to shine as you meet some of theatre’s most promising writers while helping them fine-tune their work. Listen to play readings by fabulous actors, give your feedback on where you think the story should go, and enjoy two fully produced Theatre Company productions: the world premieres of Cebollas and Rubicon, both of which were featured readings at the 2022 Summit. 

The inspiration doesn’t stop with the plays. Get to know the featured playwrights, directors, actors, and other creatives over delicious meals and at special events like the Summit Wrap Party. It’s your chance to meet the brightest minds in the craft and play an integral role in the future of Colorado theatre.
