OUR MISSION
Theatre NOVA is dedicated to raising awareness of the value and excitement of new plays and new playwrights in a diverse and expanding audience; and providing resources and outlets for playwrights to develop their craft, by importing, exporting, and developing new plays and playwrights.
THEATRE FOR ALL
We have this crazy idea that theatre should be available to everyone. Our standard ticket prices are some of the lowest in the state. Pay-what-you-can tickets are available for every show, plus discounts for students, seniors, and more. The support of our subscribers and donors make that possible. Learn more here.
There will be a credit card processing fee for patrons using a credit card online, by phone or at the box office.

CURRENT SHOW
2026 MICHIGAN PLAYWRIGHTS FESTIVAL
Theatre NOVA is dedicated to championing new plays and new playwrights. That’s why we created the Michigan Playwrights Festival: to further this mission and support local writers as they develop their craft. Launched to uplift Michigan writers and cultivate new full-length works, the festival features professionally acted and directed staged readings. These readings spark conversations and invite audiences into the creative process, offering a unique opportunity for theatre professionals and community members to come together and shape new work.
