The Future of Utah Theatre Starts Now! We’re reimagining our Exploration of New Works Festival to showcase more voices, more stories, and more opportunities for artists at every stage of the process.

Submissions are now open, and writers can submit a song, a scene, or a longer excerpt. The new 3-day festival will take place April 30–May 2 at the Saprea Headquarters in Lehi, hosted in their incredible theatre space.

Each night is intentionally designed to support new work, energize audiences, and celebrate creativity. Our hope is that this festival feels like a Utah theatre family reunion with meaningful opportunities to connect & collaborate.
‍
FIRST PAGES: Short scenes from new plays. Curated, fast-paced, and full of discovery.
PITCH & PLAY: 2-minute musical pitches + one song. Big ideas. Big energy. One unforgettable night.
IN FULL VOICE: Longer excerpts from projects ready to dive deeper and take center stage.

Whether you’re early in development or ready to share something more fully formed, there’s a place for your work at Exploration of New Works.
