NEW WORKS
Hendersonville Theatre is committed to the creation of new works for the stage. We host a new works reading series throughout the year, as well as seek out and commission original work for our main productions and One Act Festival. Hendersonville Theatre actively contributed to the development of new plays and musicals.
NEW WORKS SERIES: PAGE TO STAGE
In 2021, this commitment was strengthened with the launch of our public play readings, known as the New Works Series: Page to Stage. Our New Works Series offers area playwrights the opportunity to have their working scripts read by actors for public feedback. From this series, selected works are chosen for workshops and future full production on our main stage.
ONE ACT PLAY FESTIVAL
Don’t miss Hendersonville Theatre’s One Act Play Festival! Enjoy an evening of diverse short plays—ranging from laugh-out-loud comedies to thought-provoking dramas—performed by talented local actors. Plus, you’ll have the chance to vote for the Best of Show, making this an interactive and exciting night of live theatre. Be part of the action and join the fun at this one-of-a-kind festival!
