Colorado New Play Summit at Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex

Our stories start with you… Before a story can sweep you off to another world comes a whole lot of collaboration. After coaxing an idea into a script, playwrights can rely on the expertise of dramaturgs, directors, and actors to offer valuable insights during their rewriting process. But nothing compares to presenting a piece to a live audience.

Join us for the annual Colorado New Play Summit, where new works are shaped in real time. Your presence and response will help fuel the creative process of some of theatre’s most exciting voices as you experience four staged readings and two fully produced Theatre Company productions: the world premieres of bogfriends and How to Conquer America: A Mostly True History of Yogurt, both of which were featured readings at the 2025 Summit.

This milestone year is a tribute to two decades of innovation, collaboration, and theatrical discovery—don’t miss your chance to shape what’s next.
