Wisconsin Wrights New Play Festival

ONE WEEKEND ONLY

Wisconsin Wrights New Play Festival

May 2026

Three plays in three nights.

Written by Wisconsin playwrights.

The goal of Forward Theater Company and Wisconsin Wrights is to support and develop new theatrical work, via a biennial new play festival that features up to three works by Wisconsin playwrights. After a submission and selection process, selected playwrights communicate with professional directors, dramaturgs, and actors to develop their plays, culminating in public readings at the festival. Each night is dedicated to a single play.
