Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

New works initiative - theatreworks has become a theatre of national significance through its commitment to new works. The organization has produced a total of 60 world premieres, including "fly by night", "clementine in the lower 9", and "wheelhouse" in the 2011/12 season. "the new works initiative" incorporates all aspects of the development process: staged readings; an annual writer's retreat for playwrights, composers, and lyricists; an annual public new works festival; artist commissions; and full productions of world premieres. Theatreworks has contributed to the development of over 100 new works through the new works initiative, seventeen of which have been produced on its main stage. As a result of the initiative, theatreworks has grown from a theatre with an idea for a unique developmental program for new music theater to a major player on the national scene in developing and producing world premieres.
