NEW PLAYS FESTIVAL at Charter Arts to Showcase Student-Written Works
Brains Not Included, Dominoes, and more student works take the stage at Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts.
Student-written works and student-led production design are showcased at the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) 2026 New Plays Festival on May 29 at 7 PM.
This annual festival is an artistic endeavor in the school's theatre curriculum featuring four plays written, directed, and performed by upperclassmen theatre students and designed by production arts students. The event brings together skills acquired in script writing, directing and acting classes as students fully take on the challenges of creating new works for the stage.
This year's selected plays are:
