The Tennessee Stage New Play Festival is designed to encourage and promote the development of new American plays. We accept submissions of unpublished works from playwrights all over the country, and typically review seventy scripts from over 25 different states. The festival consists of one world premiere production, staged readings and table readings of selected scripts, and a playwriting workshop for local writers. This series is ideal for seasoned professionals and developing theatre artists to collaborate and explore the craft.
