Every July, the Summer Play Festival showcases emerging writers. The result is one exciting event with some cool performances.
The Summer Play Festival was founded in 2004 by Arielle Tepper Madover (Frost/Nixon, Monty Python's Spamalot, Pillowman, A Raisin in the Sun, De la Guarda) and its original artistic director Rachel Neuburger. It is now managed through the non-profit The Living Room for Artists, established to help working theatrical artists.
Prior to every SPF, the emerging writers and their work are selected for SPF by Broadway luminaries from a pool of over 1000 applications submitted during the previous Fall. Under the guidance of producer and founder Arielle Tepper Madover, these emerging writers from all over the US and UK have their plays produced by professionals from all over the theatre community. Stay updated on SPF news and events by befriending us on MySpace!

The Chimes
by: Kevin Christopher Snipes
Nick returns to his New England boarding school still haunted by choices he made 40 years ago. The past overwhelms the present as this thrilling drama flashes back to four young pranksters drawn together by their knack for Shakespeare and ripped apart by the onset of World War II.
Departure Lounge
by: Dougal Irvine
It’s the end of vacation as four guys wait for their flight home in this testosterone-driven new musical. With time to kill they recount the hilarious antics of the week, and as secrets tumble out we learn more about the lads than they know about themselves.
The Happy Sad
by: Ken Urban
Finding love is easy. Defining love is not. New York City provides the backdrop to a contemporary comedy of sex, love and dating in a city where there are too many options and not enough time.
Reborning
by: Zayd Dohrn
Art and life become disturbingly interchangeable when a sculptor of baby dolls meets a woman desperate to recreate the past. This dark comedy takes an unsettling look at work, latex, and the power of creation.
The Sacrifices
by: Alena Smith
At first glance the family has everything. But once they leave on a Caribbean cruise, the winds change, privilege becomes a prison, and their vacation will be anything but smooth sailing in this touching comedy drama.
Tender
by: Nicki Bloom
A random act of violence leaves a family shattered and searching for a way to be whole again. Amid the ramifications, mystery, memory and potential murder set the stage for this haunting drama about love, loss and grief.
We Declare You a Terrorist
by: Tim J. Lord
Eight hundred civilians are taken hostage during the performance of a hit Moscow musical. In the aftermath, the playwright is plagued by the story of his captor—a young woman willing to die for her cause—in an intense drama where one person’s patriotism is another’s act of terrorism.
Whore
by: Rick Viede
Sara just wants to be interesting, and an unexpected one-night stand propels her into a high stakes relationship with worldly Tim. As they are drawn into the fringes this thriller exposes a world of greed, lies and fear which threatens to break the rules that hold them together.
