In 2024, The New Harmony Project produced the first annual PlayFest Indy. A partnership between NHP and 8 local producing theatre companies, this one of a kind new play festival developed and showcased 8 new plays written by some of the most exciting playwrights in the American theatre. Each of NHP’s artistic partners selected a playwright from our alumni network whose voice aligned with that theatre’s mission and artistic vision. Writers, directors, and dramaturgs gathered for a two-day retreat, followed by three days of rehearsal and public readings of all 8 plays. The festival will continue in 2025, in a new format.
