2017 New Ground Theatre Festival

2017 New Ground Theatre Festival

May 11 – 20 | Cleveland Play House

Sponsored by Honorary Producer Roe Green

The 2017 New Ground Theatre Festival (NGTF) will mark Cleveland Play House’s 12th annual showcase of new theatrical works. As in years past, offerings include a mixture of fully produced productions and play readings in their infancy—all by groundbreaking and nationally recognized playwrights. Part of the New Ground Theatre Festival’s mission is to offer playwrights the opportunity to test new work in front of an audience for the very first time, which gives Cleveland audiences the chance to witness the birth of these incredible new contributions to American Theatre.
