FESTIVAL OF NEW VOICES 2026 - SUBMISSIONS CLOSED
Following the overwhelming success of our inaugural new writing festival last year, Lakewood Playhouse is delighted to announce the return of the Festival Of New Voices!
We are seeking exciting new works that celebrate new voices and diverse perspectives for our 2026 festival. Up to six new works will be selected by a team of local arts professionals to be given readings during the festival in July. These readings are developmental in nature and should be seen as works in draft. A playwright and cast talkback will follow each staged reading.
Submission Deadline: CLOSED
Rehearsal Dates: June 29th-July 14th, 2026
Festival Dates: July 15th-19th, 2026
