The Road Theatre Company’s annual Summer Playwrights Festival has been held every summer since its inception in 2010. SPF mounts 20-40 staged readings of new plays in 12 exciting days. The festival is now the largest staged reading festival in the nation, with playwrights from across the country and around the world participating. Each reading is followed by a talkback with the playwright, director, and cast. All readings will be held virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Road Theatre Company is dedicated to producing new plays.
