Celebration of New Writers at The Roustabouts Theatre

Celebration of New Writers is an opportunity to showcase the works of a diverse and underrepresented pool of talented playwrights. This evening includes short new pieces YOU get to hear first, with a discussion afterward. Our team brings together local talents in the best light to introduce you to the next artistic wave.

This year’s Celebration will be co-directed by Matt Thompson and Carla Navarro, who return to guide this festival of new voices with their signature blend of insight, heart, and bold theatrical vision.

We invite audiences to experience these fresh works brought and to join us for an evening that celebrates creativity, and Cultural Culinary Connections.
