Not Forgotten Play Festival
The Not Forgotten Play Festival showcases original works created through the Women’s Playwright Collective’s year-long development process.
​
New Voices playwrights begin in January, spending 7–8 months crafting 10-minute plays through monthly check-ins, peer feedback, and mentorship. These short works are then staged and presented as part of the Not Forgotten Play Festival.

Following the Festival, two playwrights are selected through Jury and Audience vote to continue as New Worlds playwrights.
Beginning in October, these writers either expand their 10-minute play or develop a new one-act work, meeting monthly with mentorship and actor read-throughs to shape their scripts for full production in the following season’s Festival.
