Festival of Unfinished Work 2026

Bramble Theatre Company's fifth annual Festival features six short scenes from original full-length plays currently in process, written by Chicago-based playwrights. This year’s festival will feature work written by Will Burdin, G. Riley Mills & Willie Round, James Kelsey Nelson, Dan Washelesky, Victor Yang, and Catherine Yu. During the Festival, the audience will have the opportunity to vote on which pieces they are most interested in seeing developed further. This voting process will impact which pieces will be given a workshop and public staged reading by Bramble at a future date. Come down and vote for your favorites!
