25th Annual NW New Works Festival

The 25th Annual NW New Works Festival presents eighteen artists/companies from the region selected via a competitive application process, each presenting a new or in-progress performance, all under 20 minutes.

The NW New Works Festival provides a platform for known and established artists to experiment with new ideas and workshop upcoming shows, and creates opportunities for audiences to be introduced to emerging voices and artists who are new to our region.
