Centre Stage proudly invites you to our 23rd Annual New Play Festival, where innovation, creativity, and storytelling come to life. Be part of the journey as we spotlight three exceptional finalist plays, handpicked for their originality and compelling narratives. Each of these works will receive a professional staged reading, providing an exclusive opportunity to experience new voices shaping the theatre landscape.

In addition, don’t miss a special presentation of a brand-new piece from our esteemed Playwright in Residence, showcasing the talent and vision of one of today’s leading theatrical voices.

And here’s the most exciting part: One of the three finalist plays will be selected as the winner and receive a production at Centre Stage during the following season. Be among the first to witness this extraordinary work before it takes its next big leap onto our stage!
