The annual festival of new plays features Globe commissions as well as six 10-minute plays by San Diego playwrights
The Old Globe has unveiled the lineup for its 2023 Powers New Voices Festival, running Jan. 12 through 15 at the Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre in Balboa Park.
This year’s festival, once again sponsored by philanthropists Paula and Brian Powers, will feature four days of readings of 11 new American plays. Old Globe artistic director Barry Edelstein said the plays reflect the company’s commitment over the past decade to new American plays through commissions, workshops and productions.
“The writers with us this year promise to invigorate our art form with new energy, new stories, and new forms. They are using their art to distill the American experience in theatrical form, and their work delights, provokes and transports,” Edelstein said in a statement.Tickets to the Powers play readings are free, but reservations are strongly encouraged. Reservations open at noon Jan. 5 at 234-5623. A line for standby seating will form 30 minutes before each performance for unreserved seats.
