Texas State’s School of Theatre, Dance and Film (SoTDF) invites all playwrights from across the country to submit for the 24th celebration of new American theatre via the New American Play Festival.
The workshop for each play includes a professional guest director, actors, auditions, 3-5 days of open rehearsals, and in-class presentations by guest artists, culminating in script-in-hand readings open to the entire campus and local community. This event annually lends an ear to new voices and, in collaboration with directors, actors, and dramaturgs, helps writers shape their stories and hone their craft in a workshop environment.
Professionals and students alike will share the play with the entire campus and local community in a staged reading for audiences, followed by a discussion and/or question-and-answer session.
