New Play Series 2026
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 6-7, 2026 in the Dottie Studio Theater. Attendance is free but reservations are required.
Reception immediately following the final reading and talkback.
Your next great theatre experience awaits.
