November, 2025 - Now in its 42nd year, Theatre Artists Workshop presents the Fall Festival of New Works, a benefit production featuring nine original short plays that showcase the array of artistry and imagination of its professional members.

“This festival embodies the very heart of the Workshop’s mission: nurturing bold new voices and bringing fresh work into the world,” says Theatre Artists Workshop President Molly Garbe Brown. “These pieces began in our weekly meetings, where members continually test, refine, and grow their craft. At 42 years strong, the Workshop remains a vibrant creative wellspring, a testament to the dedication of our artists and to the enduring power of theatre itself.”

Theatre Artists Workshop is designed as a place for theatre artists to take risks. It is a theatrical lab, where theatre professionals hone their craft, stretch creative muscles, experiment, develop new plays, work with and get feedback from fellow actors, writers and directors away from the harsh glare of the public spotlight. Each year, selected works are shared with the public through a benefit production, contributing to the rich cultural arts hub of Connecticut. Membership in the Workshop is open to professional actors, writers and directors. Admission is by audition, script submission or by a substantial body of recognized professional work.

Theatre Artists Workshop was founded in Westport, CT in 1983 by Susie Fuller, Keir Dullea, Haila Stoddard, Burry Frederick, Jerome Kilty, Whitfield Connor, Sidney Michaels, Patricia Englund, Chilton Ryan, James Mapes, Anne Clay, Louisette Michaels, and E. Katherine Kerr. ​Honorary Members include Lucille Lortel, Elliot Martin, Lester Osterman, and Max Wilk.

The mission of Theatre Artists Workshop is to advance and promote excellence in the theatrical profession through private workshop performance and peer evaluation: to provide structured opportunity for individual artistic experimentation in the theater arts, including acting, directing, and writing; to stimulate the development of unique theatrical material that may warrant future production; and in general to act as a creative influence in the community.
