Help Fund the 2021 New Works Virtual Festival

In July 2020, "New Works Virtual Festival" (#20 plays in 20 Days) was formed to provide a virtual platform for new playwrights’ works to be read and performed for the first time by high-tiered actors from New York and LA.  The Festival was over 20 days and premiered 20 plays every day from December 5 -24th.  The finalists were chosen out of over 700 and all were seen on Facebook Live and can be binged on YouTube.  NWVF raised over $5,000 for The Actors Fund and has gained over 10,000 views (and still growing).  NWVF featured over 200 professionals actors including 4-time Academy Award and Drama Desk nominee Marsha Mason, Emmy winners Robert Wuhl, Bruce Vilanch and Ted Louis Levy, Emmy nominees George Wendt and Christy Carlson Romano, Golden Globe winners Kathleen Turner and nominee Joely Fisher, Tony winners John Rubinstein, Santina Fontana, Anthony Crivello and Tonya Pinkins, Tony nominees Shuler Hensley, Richard Kind, Marc Kudisch, Carmen Cusack, Liz Larsen, Robert Cuccioli, Kevin Chamberlin, Robert Torti, Eva Noblezada and Daniel Jenkins.  NWVF was co-produced by Kevin Pollack, Jim Auld and Bart Shatto.  Chaz Ebert Executive Produced, Grammy nominee and 3-time Emmy-nominated Mia Moravis, was a consulting producer, and casting was done with the help of Robin Carus Casting.

Please help us raise the funds to help offset the 2020 production costs and help fund the 2021 NWVF. Every dollar raised through this fundraiser, will be spent entirely on creating a high-quality product for later this year. Please help in any way you can!

We hope to see you later this year for the 2021 New Works Virtual Festival!
