Join us for the Fifth Annual New Works Festival, a multi-day celebration of original plays, staged readings, and exciting theatrical experiments—all crafted by rising playwrights and boundary-pushing storytellers.
This year’s theme is: What Comes Next. We invite original plays and musicals that explore moments of change, choice, transformation, and the possibilities of what comes next.

There is no travel stipend for out-of-town/non-local playwrights. Instead, I may participate virtually through Zoom or other preferred videoconferencing.
Selected playwrights will be paid by Trinity Theatre as follows:
10-minutes & one-acts - $50/performance
full-lengths - $100/performance
The 5th Annual New Works Festival will be presented April 8-11, 2027 at Trinity Theatre in San Diego, CA
