2025 Next Stage Workshops

The Boston University School of Theatre New Play Initiative presents a series of Next Stage workshops, scenes, and plays. These Next Stage pieces are directed by undergraduate directors and will flower as the next step in the fruition of these new plays by BU students. All tickets free, general admission at the door.

The nature of the presentation and the work is determined by the needs of the play. Curated by Kirsten Greenidge, this “on-its-feet” workshop or play experience focuses on different areas of the writing or specific parts of a project in the process of development.
