Spotlighting Tomorrow’s Stories and Voices

The Student New Works Series gives young artists the chance to participate in the process of workshopping brand-new musicals. Students not only perform but also collaborate in developing works that push the boundaries of creativity and storytelling.

Each summer, selected students come together to workshop and stage new material, guided by professional directors, writers, and musicians. The program culminates in live performances that showcase the fresh voices of tomorrow’s theatre.

2026 Season

Details for the 2026 Student New Works Series will be announced soon. Registration, audition information, and performance dates will be posted here when available. For email updates, join our HSMT email list.
