Hundreds of lovers of new theatre will gather this August for an advance look at tomorrow’s hits at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley’s 21st New Works Festival. Returning to Palo Alto’s Lucie Stern Theatre to celebrate the company’s legacy for fostering new theatre, this unique festival offers audiences an extraordinary opportunity to experience new plays and musicals in their early stages of development. With multiple performances of each work and input from the audiences, playwrights and composers are able to revise and refine their shows during the festival, allowing audiences to view the exciting evolution of brand-new pieces of theatre. Readings and events from August 9-18, 2024—for more information, visit https://theatreworks.org/new-works/nwf/
“Molly Bell’s Hysterical” is an emotional rollercoaster through the life of playwright, composer, and acclaimed performer Molly Bell, inviting audiences to take a madcap musical ride through the terrors and triumphs of a suburban mother with too much on her mind. Struggling to balance family, career, a mysterious illness, and lingering dreams, she embarks on a transformative journey that will stir souls and touch hearts.
