OUR MISSION

The Colorado New Play Festival’s mission is to advance the art of storytelling as an essential element of the human condition and spirit.

  • 75% of plays chosen for the Colorado New Play Festival move on to regional and New York Stage.

  • Hailed by the New York Times as one of the top North American Festivals.

  • Taking plays from page to stage since 1996.

  • The only festival in the country to partner with theatre companies.

Bringing together playwrights, directors, dramaturges and the Steamboat Springs community for a week of collaborating, connecting and inspiring.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
