Kitchen Dog Theater to close season with New Works Festival In a press release this week, KDT announced details for this year’s New Works Festival which will close the theater’s 31st season.
Now in its 24th year, KDT’s New Works Festival is an eclectic series that not only includes the anchor mainstage productions of High Five but also a collection of five staged readings.
The readings feature diverse and new voices of local, national and international playwrights. The festival also includes PUP Fest, a co-production with Dallas ISD and Junior Players, that features area high school playwrights.
The festival will feature the world premiere of High Five. For this headlining production, KDT commissioned five short plays that each shine a spotlight on one of the five senses: taste, touch, vision, hearing, and smell.
