New Works Festival: LA Chapters
May 17 - May 25, 2025
Fridays & Saturdays 8pm
Sundays 2pm
The Morgan Wixson Theater New Works Festival presents The LA chapters. A series of new original plays by Los Angeles playwrights inspired by the city of Los Angeles.
These intimate stories take you on a journey through the many people and places that make up the City of Angels. From navigating social norms to the unification of family and everyday choices, The LA Chapters is a thoughtful letter to Los Angeles—capturing its past, its present, and all the moments in between that every Angeleno will recognize.
Each performance will feature a reading of all 9 short plays, with a full run time of about 95 minutes with one intermission.
