The New York New Works Theatre Festival introduces the best of today’s aspiring new authors to the Broadway community!
Philanthropist and Producer, Gene Fisch, Jr. has aggregated a distinguished panel of Emmy Award Winners and Broadway Producers to review the best aspiring writers from around the country. “The objective was to create one of the first festivals that legitimately introduces new writers to the industry’s decision makers. It’s the first festival of its kind as each panelist is either a Broadway Producer or is an executive involved with an Emmy Award winning show”, says Fisch.
The NYNW Theatre Festival is sure to be exciting!
First Round (August 20th, 21st, 27th and 28th)
Semi-Finals (September 3rd and 4th)
Finals (Sept 9th)
First Prize includes $500.00 and the opportunity for the author’s production to be aired on a local media outlet. All have the opportunity to “audition” for industry decision makers through their submissions. Fisch adds, “Mentors have a the ability to change lives. This festival provides each artist with their “brass ring” shot at being mentored by individuals who can have a significant impact on their careers.”
The Festival’s venue will be the Times Square Arts Center, located at 300 West 43rd Street, only a block off Broadway, in the heart of the world’s premier theatre district.
