Submissions are now being accepted through August 2, 2026 for the inaugural WinterWorks New Play Festival scheduled for February of 2027 in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. “The WinterWorks New Play Festival supports the presentation and development of engaging, intimate plays that serve as a catalyst for conversation within our community,” says Jackie and Steve Kane Artistic Director and festival producer Jacob Janssen. “As a theatre operating outside of a major metropolitan hub, we believe the American narrative is vast, and varied, therefore, we are seeking plays that explore the true multiplicity of the American experience; stories that reflect the diverse textures, complex histories, and distinct voices of communities across the country.”
