Studio Theatre, in conjunction with four other DC theatres, will host a three-day festival of readings from January 23rd through 25th, featuring new plays and works-in-progress. The New Pages, New Stages festival will feature public readings of two works-in-process from the Studio R&D program alongside projects from four local theatres, offering a snapshot of dynamic new writing for the theatre. Studio R&D has supported commissions and development of new work since 2012 and boasts playwrights like Rachel Bonds, Aaron Posner, Kimberly Belflower, and James Ijames among its alumni, and plays from Studio R&D have gone on to productions on Broadway, Off Broadway, across the US, and internationally.

Studio has invited four area theatres to showcase new plays: Arena Stage, Theater Alliance, Theater J, and Solas Nua. The names of selected playwrights and play titles will be announced in December. Tickets will be made available to the general public two weeks prior to the readings.
