Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor presents a schedule of plays for the upcoming 9th annual Title Wave: 2023 New Works Festival, scheduled to take place Friday, May 5, through Sunday, May 7, at Bay Street Theater. This year, the festival will introduce four new plays to the Bay Street stage over the course of the weekend.
The 9th annual Title Wave: 2023 New Works Festival returns to the stage at Bay Street Theater bringing with it four bold and exciting new plays currently in development, all written by female playwrights. The weekend is a unique showcase of cutting-edge theater, complete with staged readings, talkbacks, and critical discussion, providing an opportunity for directors and actors to work on their play in-person.
Selected from 300 submissions, the four plays selected are “Another Lovely Day” by Leslie Ayvazian, starring John Slattery (“Mad Men,” “Marvel Cinematic Universe,” “Spotlight”) and Talia Balsam (“Mad Men,” “Homeland,” “Divorce”); “Come Again” by Lisa Feriend; “What I Know, Now” by and starring Julia Motyka; and “You Have to Promise” by Audrey Lang.
“What a great lineup of new plays we have this year for Title Wave,” said Bay Street Artistic Director Scott Schwartz. “As always, they will showcase the broad spectrum of what American theater can be. I’m particularly excited that this festival will feature all plays written by women. We’ve always made it a priority to support female-identifying writers at Bay Street, and this year continues that commitment in a robust way.”
In addition to the schedule of staged readings, the presentation of winners of the 2023 Writing the Wave Creative Writing Competition will be held Saturday, May 7, at 7 PM.
Tickets are available for a $10 fee that goes to supporting New Works initiatives at Bay Street Theater, or a Festival Pass with tickets to each performance can be purchased for $25. Visit baystreet.org.
