4 Talented Playwrights

4 Never-Before-Seen Comedies

1 Future Mainstage Production (At least!)

B Street Theatre’s New Comedies Festival is back for the 6th time! Every year, we ask playwrights from across the country to submit their best brand new, unproduced comedies. After hundreds of submissions and several rounds of review by dozens of script readers, we then choose the top four to receive live staged readings. Previously held in our Upstairs @ the B space, the festival has grown over the years to find its new home on the Mike and Bobbie Voris Mainstage where at least one of these new comedies will be chosen to receive a full B Street Theatre Mainstage production for the upcoming season!

Previous winners include: THE FOREVER QUESTION (Jim Christy Jr.), PROCLIVITY FOR KITING (Jacob T. Zack), INSERTION (Sarah Groustra), THE NEWLYWED GAME (Alyssa Haddad-Chin). Even the finalists have the chance to make the leap to the Mainstage, such as RESCUE ME (Peter Story & Tara Sissom-Pittaro) and COSMO ST. CHARLES IS DEAD AND SOMEONE IN THIS ROOM KILLED HIM (Nicole Zimmerer).

And coming up in the 2025 season are the TWO winners of 2024's New Comedies Festival: ADVICE by Brent Askari and DOG MOM by Tate Hanyok.
