Help us grow the future of local and global theatre. Your donation to the IN THE WORKS ~ IN THE WOODS Theatre Festival at the Forestburgh Playhouse directly supports the development of new plays, musicals, and solo cabaret performances—and the diverse and talented writers, composers, and performers behind them. Founded in 2021, this annual festival was born out of a passion for nurturing fresh, original voices and giving them a space to explore, evolve, and connect. Each September, creators from across the country come together on our scenic Forestburgh campus for an immersive week of rehearsals, workshops, collaboration, and community-building. Their work culminates in a weekend of staged readings and performances, where audiences get a first look at tomorrow’s most exciting new works.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Forestburgh Playhouse relies on the generosity of our supporters to sustain and expand this unique initiative. Your contribution helps ensure that Forestburgh Playhouse and the ITW FESTIVAL remains a vital incubator for theatrical innovation—impacting artists and audiences locally and around the world.
