WHAT SETS BBTF APART FROM OTHER FESTIVALS! --2026 alum Stephen H. Gardner, creator of the hit musical ONCE IN A LIFETIME, AGAIN shares his inspiring insight: "In today's world, the economics of theater overwhelmingly favor the known -- known writers, known works, known performers -- and that's where most theater organizations focus. The Broadway Bound Theatre Festival is one of the few places -- and certainly one of the most visible -- where new writers can take new works and have a fair shot at seeing them fully realized on stage." Bravo! Could you be the next success story? Keep an eye out for 2027 submissions, opening mid-December. www.broadwayboundfest.com

ALUMNI NEWS! Fresh off its Broadway Bound Theatre Festival run "Say My Name" is set for an industry presentation. Onward and upward. Bravo to Jeff Perlman, who says: "I’m excited for the future of this play. Hoping we get some traction with producers and artistic directors looking to showcase theatre that asks us to think, talk and connect. The momentum created by our creative team during the Broadway Bound Theatre Festival led to this opportunity".
