The Br!NK New Play Festival celebrates and develops the work of Midwestern women playwrights. The Renaissance Theaterworks new play festival is unlike a traditional theatrical evening. These staged-readings are focused on the playwright’s work and audience members are encouraged to provide feedback during guided talk-back sessions. Playwrights have the opportunity to meet the actors and directors and mingle with a community passionate about creating and enjoying theatrical works.

Br!NK New Play Festival weekend includes performances of Br!NK Br!efs — a collection of fully-staged 10-minute plays. The festival takes place on May 18 & 19, 2024, at The Baumgartner Center for Dance (128 N Jackson St, Milwaukee, WI 53202).

Ensemble Member Maria Burnham has a play that is part of the BR!NK Br!efs — THE AIR B&B OF BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS. Playing both days of the festival.
