Study the Craft.
I pray writers continue to converge to study, nurture, and celebrate the craft of playwriting through the New American Play Festival.

23 Years and Counting
Year after year, we provide students majoring in theatre with the opportunity to work with professionals for a hands-on rehearsal process that includes the collaborative process of "finding a play" in rehearsals, culminating with a public script-in-hand reading.
Celebrate the Work.
