New Play Festival at FAU’s Theater Lab offering six performances

Theater Lab at Florida Atlantic University will offer its annual New Play Festival March 10-12 at the Heckscher Stage on the FAU campus, 777 Glades Road in Boca Raton.

Theatre Lab’s annual New Play Festival continues its tradition of providing opportunities for emerging and established playwrights to showcase their work. Each reading is accompanied by a post-show discussion, an opportunity to interact with the playwrights themselves, where they will discuss the process, inspiration, and plans for future development.
