Our New Works Festival produces short plays by local writers and directors from marginalized communities. Each play should be themed around social justice issues that are currently present in our community. By producing these plays in Burbank, the objective is to amplify voices that are often unseen in this community. Each writer will be paid a stipend for the performance of their script thanks to funding from the City of Burbank Community Arts Grant.
