ABOUT THE NEW WORKS FESTIVAL
Phoenix Theatre’s New Works Festival was founded by Playwright Richard Warren and director Mark DeMichele in 1998 to introduce Phoenix audiences to the new works of emerging and established playwrights. In this invitational festival, the audience, performers and writer all take part in the play development process. The writer creates the script, the actors translate the page to the stage and audience members exchange immediate and uncensored reaction to the play, providing all with insight into further development of the product. Playwrights with a unique vision, innovative subject matter, and diverse perspectives are thus given a voice—which otherwise might never be afforded to them in the contemporary world of performing arts.
