A Silicon Valley theater tradition since the New Works Initiative launched in 2000, this festival gathers playwrights, composers, and audiences to shape the next generation of American theater. Each festival pass includes a ticket to one performance of each of the year's five shows, ranging from staged readings of brand-new musicals to plays still finding their final form — with playwright talkbacks, keynote conversations, and food truck dining rounding out the experience. It's a rare chance to watch new work get workshopped live, with audience reactions actually shaping the rewrite.
