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​
THE JONBENÉT GAME
by Tori Keenan-Zelt
A National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere

 

When best friends Molly and Rae were 12, they secretly played JonBenét Ramsey at sleepovers. Twenty years later, in the wake of Molly's tragic death, Rae returns to her hometown school as a guidance counselor. But when Molly’s 12-year-old daughter, Hazel, knocks on Rae’s door, she and Rae slide back into the game, and the dark and liminal spaces of their unresolved grief.

Rave Reviews​
"I attend a lot of theater and this play was by far one of the most brilliant I’ve ever seen - from the writing to the acting, true talent was on display. The themes are so incredibly timely and explored a depth of ideas that kept me completely engaged from beginning to end. This brought up every emotion in me - laughter, sadness, anger, understanding, acceptance, confusion, revelation. What an incredible work of art to have just down the street from where I live. Theatre Nova is an incredibly special place where brilliant things come to life and I truly hope more people come to see this astounding play."
- Audience Member, JORGE LUIS BORGES GIVES A LECTURE ON ANATOMY (2025)
