Hothouse New Play Block Party is exactly what it sounds like—a block party style festival of bold, community-powered new work. Pop-ups, performances, works-in-progress, and creative experiences collide in a high-energy, community-centered celebration of new voices, bold ideas, and real connection. It’s not just a festival—it’s a high-energy celebration of new voices, real connection, and the future of theater. Theater Alliance will publicly showcase a fresh work-in-progress from each of the playwrights in our main stage season alongside emerging playwrights from the DMV. We envision this new Hothouse as a lasting incubator that builds stronger relationships with playwrights, creates a conduit for future productions, and encourages audiences to become invested in the breadth and diversity of the playwrights creating new work.
