The New York New Works Theatre Festival was founded by Gene Fisch Jr., as an artistic give-back project. The third annual New York New Work Theatre Festival (NYNW) at the Times Square Arts Centre is the only cost-effective festival of its kind that helps Broadway and television's next generation of writers. The Festival exposes them to audiences and provides the mentoring of a panel of Broadway Producers, Emmy and Tony Award Winners who each donate their time for this endeavor.
This year's festival presents 50 shows submitted from writers around the world. Each evening features a lineup of several diverse productions presented by top aspiring writers in their quest for the Broadway spotlight. Encompassing all genres of theatre, all of the performances are mentored and judged by a panel of Broadway Producers and Emmy Award winners.The Festival runs September 12-14, 19-22, 26 with the finals gala on October 5, 2016.
