FESTIVAL ALUMNI + PAST PRODUCTIONS
For more than 27 years…
The Colorado New Play Festival has an enviable track record with a history of more than 70% of its work moving on to regional and New York stages in short order. Many of these go on to have multiple productions.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The Colorado New Play Festival is unique in that we partner with theatre companies to bring plays from page to stage. We do not consider plays from independent playwrights or from their representatives. Works must be submitted by a theatre company interested in developing the piece for production. Play submissions must also be full-length.
The submission period for the 2026 Colorado New Play Festival has now ended.
If you are with a theatre company interested in submitting in the future, contact our Festival Producer, Matthew Laws, to discuss the Festival and how you can be involved.
