We are proud to announce the seventh San Diego Latinx New Play Festival will take place at La Jolla Playhouse, October 4 – 6, 2024.
The Latinx New Play Festival expands the presence of Latinx stories and artists on the American stage, and spotlights the broad range of today’s Latinx experience. Four scripts will be selected to be rehearsed and developed at the Playhouse, culminating in a live public reading at the festival.
The festival will be free for everyone to attend, and will include a schedule of in-person readings of new works, panel discussions and other events.
Produced by Dr. Maria Patrice Amon, the Playhouse’s 2024/25 Artist-in-Residence, in partnership with La Jolla Playhouse, the Latinx New Play Festival was originally launched in 2016 by San Diego Repertory Theatre. La Jolla Playhouse is delighted to be able to provide this vibrant, important arts event a new home in San Diego.
The submission period for the 2024 Latinx New Play Festival was from January to April 2024. Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know when submissions for the 2025 Latinx New Play Festival open.
The 2024 Latinx New Play Festival has been made possible in part by Prebys Foundation.
