HPCCT's New Works Festival - 2026

Join us for an afternoon of brand-new plays written and performed by young artists from across our Highland Park Community Center Theatre community! The New Works Festival is a joyful celebration of imagination, collaboration, and courage, featuring original short new works (often plays) created by students ages 8–18.

Each new work is dreamed up, written, and brought to life by the students themselves, with support from teaching artists Coletrane T. Johnson and Stephanie Isola, and the Highland Park Community Center team.

More details to come!
Stay tuned for updates about featured plays, performers, and ways to get involved.

For now, mark your calendars, spread the word, and get excited!
