31st Festival of New Plays

Many of the plays Native Voices has developed through our annual Playwrights Retreat and Festival of New Plays have gone on to enjoy successful productions across the country. As a cornerstone of our season, the Retreat and Festival provide emerging and established playwrights a rigorous opportunity to shape their plays through Distance Dramaturgy and a weeklong residency in Los Angeles where collaboration occurs in daily workshops with nationally recognized directors, dramaturgs, and the Native Voices acting company. The Festival of New Plays is a series of staged readings performed at the Autry and La Jolla Playhouse.
