ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

We are proud to announce the eighth Latinx New Play Festival will take place at La Jolla Playhouse, November 21 – 23, 2025.

The Latinx New Play Festival expands the presence of Latinx stories on the American stage, and spotlights the broad range of today’s Latinx experience. Four scripts will be selected to be rehearsed and developed at the Playhouse, culminating in a live public reading at the festival.

The festival will be free for everyone to attend, and will include a schedule of in-person readings of new works, panel discussions and other events. The full festival program will be announced closer to the festival dates.

Co-produced by TuYo Theatre and La Jolla Playhouse, the Latinx New Play Festival was originally launched in 2017 by San Diego Repertory Theatre, led and curated by TuYo Artistic Director Dr. Maria Patrice Amon. La Jolla Playhouse is delighted to continue to provide this vibrant, important arts event a new home in San Diego since 2023.

The submission period for the 2025 Latinx New Play Festival is open from December 3, 2024 and closes December 31, 2024 at 11:59pm. See the complete guidelines and details below.
