Come Celebrate our 25th Anniversary in Chicago!

We are excited to invite you to celebrate 25 remarkable years of National New Play Network with an unforgettable event in Chicago, the city where it all began. 

Join us on November 3, 2023, at Chicago Dramatists, home of Prop Thtr, the company that inspired the creation of our organization, as we kick off a yearlong celebration of the impact on the American theater with an event that will not only express our gratitude but also showcase the essence of NNPN's mission. 

We will take a walk down memory lane with Scenes and Stories that exemplify NNPN’s mission to collaborate in innovative ways to develop, produce, and extend the life of new plays. The evening will be an opportunity to celebrate the founders of NNPN, reflect on our achievements, and look forward to the continuing and growing impact of our Member Theaters and Affiliated Artists and the work they create with NNPN’s support.  

Over the past quarter-century, your unwavering support has been instrumental in advancing the mission of extending the life of new plays and nurturing emerging playwrights. We are immensely grateful for your dedication, passion, and commitment to the network that powers the Network! This milestone would not have been possible without your invaluable contributions. So come celebrate with us.  Click here (insert link) for more information.
