World Premiere Wisconsin

WPW is a statewide festival celebrating new plays and musicals in Wisconsin!

WPW was conceived with three primary goals in mind:

1.) to build relationships between theater-makers across our state

2.) to raise awareness nation-wide that Wisconsin has a thriving and diverse theater ecosystem, which includes the frequent creation of new work

3.) to encourage and facilitate the production of new plays, by providing marketing and logistical support to participating companies. An additional goal was added in light of the challenges posed by COVID-19

4.) to communicate a positive story about Wisconsin’s theaters that will engage and excite statewide audiences during our recovery and rebuilding.
