2024 National Showcase of New Plays Selections & Finalists
NNPN is thrilled to announce its selections and finalists for the 2024 National Showcase of New Plays. As NNPN celebrates 25 years of transforming the new play field, its tentpole gathering continues to innovate in its offerings to attendees, both in terms of the new voices being featured and the new formats for engaging with the work. A record number of plays came to NNPN from Core and Associate Member Theaters, from Partner Organizations, and from Affiliated Artists, including alumni of NNPN’s Rolling World Premiere program. The work was read again and again by representatives of those same constituencies throughout the adjudication process. NNPN is thrilled to recommend these selected plays and finalists and is eager to share them with the Network and beyond.
