STURGEON BAY, Wis. - WisconsinEagle -- At its annual gala at Stone Harbor Resort on Sunday evening, Third Avenue PlayWorks (TAP) announced the expansion of their annual WinterWorks Play Reading Series in 2027 to the WinterWorks New Play Festival.
The expanded festival, which is sponsored by Joseph and Gwenn Graboyes, spans the entire month of February and features free workshop readings on Saturdays of three new plays, as well as two other readings of new and contemporary plays.
"World premiere productions provide a unique and memorable experience for audiences as they help to shape the play for subsequent productions," says Jackie and Steve Kane Artistic Director Jacob Janssen. "We are excited to support the creative process as well as introduce our audience to new writers. It all begins with the new play process."
Playwrights from around the country are encouraged to apply to have their work developed as part of the inaugural WinterWorks New Play Festival. There is no fee to apply, and submissions are open from July 6 through August 2, 2026.
