The Finish Line
Dottie Studio
New Play Series 2025
Join us for our annual new play reading series The Finish Line: A Bill and Judy Garrett Commission. This multi-day event includes a reception, staged readings, and talk-backs that are all free to the public. In partnership with the UCSD MFA Playwriting Program, the commission supports Cygnet’s commitment to new theatrical works, written by groundbreaking local playwrights as well as nationally recognized playwrights.
Playwrights awarded The Finish Line Commission will be given a week-long workshop culminating in a public reading, a financial reward, and an assurance that the play will have an opportunity for a world premiere production at Cygnet.
Public readings of the plays will take place November 10 – 15, 2025 at the Dottie Studio in the Cygnet Theatre at Arts District Liberty Station. Attendance is free but reservations are required.
Cygnet Theatre’s Season 19 included two world premieres that were past Finish Line commissions. Sharon by Keiko Green premiered in June of 2023 and The Little Fellow (or – The Queen of Tarts Tells All) by Kate Hamill received its world premiere October of 2023.
