The Linnell Festival of New Plays

February 10th -12th in the Experimental Theatre on UNM

The annual Linnell Festival of New Plays presents new works by students of the UNM MFA Dramatic Writing Program. This year presents six staged readings of new works in progress by the dramatic writing cohort. Readings are vital to a playwright’s process as they get work in progress in front of an audience. It allows the playwright to see what resonates with audiences as well as how actors and directors interpret what they have written on the page. It is an integral part of the process, and thrilling to be in the presence of new work and see what the future of theatre and performance has in store.
