Latinx New Play Festival 2023

Note: The event is currently at capacity, though unused tickets may be released prior to the festival.

From the organizers:
The sixth Latinx New Play Festival will take place at La Jolla Playhouse, October 27 – 29, 2023.

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 have been 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 includes a schedule of in-person readings of new works, panel discussions and other events.

Produced by Dr. Maria Patrice Amon, the Playhouse’s 2023/2024 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.
