    The O’Neill Festival of New Works
    Date: 2023-10-06     Time: 12 PM : 0 minutes

    Provincetown has a new theatre festival in town and unlike the other festivals, this one is devoted to the development of new dramatic works written by the Cape’s most promising playwrights.

    The festival is the brainchild of Margaret Van Sant, the Producing Artistic Director of Provincetown Dramatic Arts. The O’Neill Festival of New Works is named after Eugene O’Neill, the Nobel-prize-winning dramatist who got his start in Provincetown with the original Provincetown Players.
