The 2026 New Works Festival

Plays written by KWLT members, plus workshops and more

Auditions: May 17–19 & 22–23, 2026
Performances: August 14–16 & 21–23, 2026

It’s back! After a successful debut in 2024, KWLT’s New Works Collective is once again mounting a festival of home-grown plays to share with our community.

This year we’ll be presenting six performances: three different combinations of shows, each presented once in each week of the run. We’ll also be running some activities in the days between those two performance blocks, stayed tuned for more details!

The 2026 New Works Festival is supported by a grant from Waterloo Region Arts Fund.
