Hosted annually by The Phoenix Theatre Company, the Richard P. Stahl Festival Of New American Theatre amplifies new voices and expands the canon of American theatre. The 2025 Festival will continue honoring our longstanding commitment to the development of new works, playwrights, and performers and include a variety of events that allow artists of all kinds to see their work come alive onstage. It will feature: a play reading, two musical readings, two Composer Lyricist Cabarets, Choreography Lab, and a return of the 24-hour Theatre Project. This is an opportunity to witness how a production goes from the page to the stage!
