New Stages 2021

A Free Celebration of New Work

Goodman Theatre presents its New Stages Festival, now in its 17th year–an annual celebration of innovative, risky new work by some of the country’s most singular and ambitious playwrights.

Since New Stages’ 2004 inception, nearly 100 plays have been produced as developmental productions and staged readings. Join us for a first look at these exciting new works. Full line-up below.
