WELCOME TO THE COLORADO NEW PLAY FESTIVAL
The Colorado New Play Festival, located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado brings a diversity of voices, ideas and beliefs to the American Stage. For almost twenty-five years, CNPF has been celebrating the raw power of words and providing a platform for some of the most talented playwrights in the country to further develop new works. This year CNPF is proud to announce two new programs: the Youth Playwright Slam, a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Northwest Colorado, and Refugee Voice, a partnership with International Rescue Committee.

“We are very proud to announce the 2022 Festival playwrights,” said Jim Steinberg, Producing Director. “COVID has put a huge strain on the theatre community psychically as well as financially. Our goal in 2022 is to bring theatre people back to do what they do and support these incredible playwrights in a beautiful, safe and supportive communal environment where they can work in-person with their teams away from the distractions of daily life to take their pieces forward and see their hard work finally come to fruition.”
