Welcome to New Ground
Theatre!
2012 - 13 is our
twelfth season of bringing the best of contemporary and
original theatre to the Quad Cities.
New Ground's home is the
Village Theatre in the Village of East Davenport.
New Ground's Playwrights Festival
We are proud to present eight new plays by seven Quad-Cities
playwrights. We had so many great scripts submitted that we
split them into two evenings.
You don't have to choose which group to see, though. Pay for
one group, and you will receive a pass for free admission to
the other one!
Group 1 will be presented April 19th at 7:30, April 21st at
2:00, and April 27th at 7:30.
Group 2 will perform April 20th and 26th at 7:30 and April
28th at 2:00.
