North Fourth New Works

North Fourth New Works is a festival highlighting New Mexico's best up-and-coming playwrights and a chance for audiences to see world premieres from page-to-staged readings. Performances vary in length and genre, all highlighting New Mexico talent in a festival dedicated to helping local arts professionals. The festival gives writers an opportunity to hone their scripts, helping them take the next step towards publishing and producing their work. It's also an exciting opportunity for audience members to attend world premiers and see new works before they become big! The festival premiered eight selected works in 2022, and fifteen in 2023.
