Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

New works initiative - theatreworks has become a theatre of national significance through its commitment to new works. The theatre has produced a total of 62 world premieres, including "upright grand" and "being earnest" in the 2012/13 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, nineteen 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.
