New Works Fest 2026

Now in its third year, the Verge New Works Festival celebrates the innovation and collaboration of theatre-making in its nascent stage, and welcomes pieces at various levels of development. New Works offers our audience the chance to see deeper into the play development process by witnessing new plays as they come to be. Each of the 10 plays presented this year are works by Montana writers that display imaginative theatrical storytelling, engaging character interactions, and clear potential for future production. This year’s four day festival also includes workshops and panel discussions as well as generative talkbacks after each performance.
