The Student New Works Festival: A Celebration of Evanston’s Creative Spirit
Evanston thrives on community, culture, and innovation—and the Student New Works Festival at Josephine Louis Theater is a shining example of all three. This annual showcase invites the community to witness the artistic achievements of Northwestern students, as their original plays come to life on stage.
Events like this matter deeply to Evanston’s cultural fabric. Not only does the Josephine Louis Theater offer local residents a chance to experience professional-grade performances in an accessible, state-of-the-art venue, but it also gives our young creatives a platform to share their voices and visions.
When you attend the Student New Works Festival, you’re doing more than just watching a play—you’re supporting local artistry, investing in the next generation of storytellers, and fostering a thriving arts community here in Evanston, IL. Don’t miss your chance to be part of something truly special!
