  3. 2024 A.E. Hotchner Playwriting Festival


This annual WashU Performing Arts Department Festival begins with a university-wide solicitation of new, unproduced plays. Several plays are selected, through an anonymized screening process, to be developed in a two-week event in September. During those two weeks, each play will be workshopped with a professional dramaturg, a faculty director, and a student cast. The Festival culminates in a public staged reading of each play. Assistant Professor Zachariah Ezer will serve as Festival dramaturg in September 2024.

Hotch Fest is generously supported by the WashU Office of the Dean of Arts & Sciences and the Newman’s Own Foundation.
