Pittsburgh New Works Festival
Pittsburgh New Works Festival is an annual festival that produces original one-act plays utilizing the resources of Pittsburgh-area theatre companies.[1] Established in 1990 by Donna Rae, the Festival features four weeks of productions of new plays as well as two weeks of staged readings.[2] The Festival has taken place in numerous locations, originally having performances at City Theatre's Lester Hamburg Studio, Open Stage, and currently the Father Ryan Arts Center in McKees Rocks.[3][4][5][6][7] Each one-act is produced by a different Pittsburgh theatre company; participating theatre companies have included Phase 3 Productions, Prime Stage Theatre, 12 Peers Theater, Cup-A-Jo Productions, Unseam'd Shakespeare Company, Pittsburgh Playhouse, and Kuntu Repertory Theatre.[5][8] Each year the Donna Awards (named after Donna Rae) are given out to actors, directors, and playwrights whose work has been judged the best of the festival.[9] The Festival has provided encouragement and valuable experience to many writers, including F.J. Hartland and Scott Sickles.[6]
