"Burning Down the House" | New Works Festival 2024

Initiated in 2000, the New Works Festival is the University of Alberta's new play festival, featuring work from emerging student playwrights.

Students write, direct, design, and produce 4 one-act plays all under the professional guidance of mentors from the University's drama community. New Works champions the development of practical creative skills, allowing students to gain real-world experience in theatrical production and see their work realized in fully-staged performances. The festival creates a sense of community and gives all students the chance to get involved in theatre at the University of Alberta.

Thank you to the Department of Drama and the Timms Centre for the Arts for their continued support of the student-led New Works Festival.
