2024 A.E. Hotchner Playwriting Festival

This annual WashU Performing Arts Department Festival begins with a university-wide solicitation of new, unproduced plays. Several plays are selected, through an anonymized screening process, to be developed in a two-week event in September. During those two weeks, each play will be workshopped with a professional dramaturg, a faculty director and a student cast. The Festival culminates in a public staged reading of each play.
