New Works Fest 2026
Calling all Montana playwrights! Submissions are open for the Verge Theater’s third annual New Works Festival! Accepting stories of any genre, length, and stage of development. Accepted plays will tell original stories, follow engaging characters, have a unique voice, and display potential for further development. Following each performance, selected playwrights will have the opportunity to engage in constructive workshops with audiences to support the refinement of their scripts.
This year, in an effort to cultivate the performing arts within Montana, we are limiting submissions to those currently residing in the state.
Submissions open from January 15th to February 20th.
Submissions will be read blind and put through two rounds of reading before acceptances are sent out March 1.
Verge New Works Festival dates: May 28th – 31st.

Festival Passes will come available again in March, 2026.
