The Latinx New Play Festival expands the presence of Latinx stories on the American stage, and spotlights the broad range of today’s Latinx experience. Four scripts were selected to be rehearsed and developed at the Playhouse, culminating in a live public reading at the festival.
The festival is free for everyone to attend, and will include a schedule of in-person readings of new works, panel discussions and other events. This year’s festival programming includes Our Lady of the San Diego Convention Center by Mario Vega, Tempt Me by Andrew Rincón, Ama. Egg. Oyá. by Lori Felipe-Barkin and NOVIOS by Arturo Luíz Soria.
Co-produced by TuYo Theatre and La Jolla Playhouse, the Latinx New Play Festival was originally launched in 2017 by San Diego Repertory Theatre, led and curated by TuYo Co-Artistic Director Dr. Maria Patrice Amon. La Jolla Playhouse is delighted to continue to provide this vibrant, important arts event a new home in San Diego since 2023.
