About NEW WORKS SHOWCASE A NEW WORK This is your chance to experience a new work in progress before it premieres and contribute to its development. LIVELY STAGE READING On-script performances by quality actors are lively, often with a bit of blocking and representative costume pieces. Patrons' imaginations paint the production elements as the performers and director bring the work to life with their voices and characterizations. MAKE A DIFFERENCE & NETWORK This is your chance to support local talent and make a difference in the development of a new work. Post-performance and Q&A/Feedback, is an opportunity to meet & greet/network with actors, writers, directors, patrons and Placer Rep staff. ------------ Season 2025-2026 - JULY 14 New Works Showcase offering:
