What do you need to say to the world right now? Three playwrights took this question, and used it as inspiration for brand-new, ten-minute plays. Join Victory Gardens Theater for a one-night-only performance of their work at New Plays for a New Year. This festival pairs acclaimed directors with a playwright of their choosing, leading to innovative collaborations between some of the most exciting artists working today.
Acting Managing Director Roxanna Conner says of the festival, "While our stages are dark, it felt essential to find a way to continue Victory Gardens' mission of highlighting diverse voices, by commissioning new work that reflects our world. We are thrilled to see what comes out of these artistic partnerships, and what theatrical work the past year has inspired."
Casting is yet to be announced.
