Events Description
From Cradle to Stage is Walterdale’s new play reading program. Walterdale welcomes original play submissions from local playwrights and offers them the opportunity to share their work, gain audience feedback, and experience a workshop atmosphere through staged readings of their finished, original, and unproduced plays.
These works should be between 10-60 minutes in length, of any genre. This is also an opportunity for budding directors to get some experience directing these staged readings, and working closely with the Walterdale staff. Look for the call for submissions for playwrights and directors for the fall of 2025, with the festival in late spring of 2026.
In addition to new plays, there is a visual arts component, Walterdale Creates, that features the artworks of visual artists with a Walterdale association on the lobby walls of the theatre during the festival.
