The Newport NewWorks Musical Theater Festival is dedicated to providing a nurturing and creative space for both emerging and established artists to develop and refine their work-in-progress musicals. We foster a dynamic, collaborative environment where creativity thrives and artistic exploration is celebrated. At every stage, we prioritize inclusivity, safety, and fun, encouraging experimentation and innovation as artists bring their visions to life.
Our Mission
Our Vision
At the heart of the Newport NewWorks Festival is a collaborative, artist-driven environment, guided by industry-leading professionals. From directors to dramaturgs, musical directors & musicians to actors, works are given whatever each creative team needs to help them revise, rework, or reshape their musicals as they see fit—whether it’s the book, the music, the score, or all three. Risk-taking and bold choices are strongly encouraged throughout the process.
