12th Annual International Playwrights Festival

The 12th Annual International Playwrights Festival returns to the Warner’s Nancy Marine Studio Theatre October 13 & 14, 2023 at 8 pm! The mission of the International Playwrights Festival is to recognize the work of emerging and established playwrights and to build a link between the playwrights, the theatre community, and our audiences. Tickets are on sale now at warnertheatre.org.

The festival is a two-night celebration of new works by playwrights from across the country and around the globe. 150 plays were accepted for consideration from across the United States, Canada, and Australia, as well as countries in Europe, Asia, and South America.
