About the Show

Words Cubed is the Festival’s new play program that seeks to nurture and develop openly submitted, solicited, and commissioned plays. By providing a professionally supported platform for readings, workshops, and fully realized productions, it is a part of an ongoing commitment to create a diverse body of work.

Playwrights spend a week at the Festival during our summer season in rehearsals with directors, actors, and stage managers as they refine and rework their plays. At the end of the week, the revised plays are presented as staged readings or workshops, followed by a lively, interactive discussion between the playwright, actors, and audience.

Tickets are $20 and are available online, or by visiting or calling the Ticket Office at (800)-PLAYTIX.
