The 42nd William Inge Theatre Festival
It is our absolute pleasure to welcome you to the 42nd William Inge Theatre Festival April 17-19, 2025. We are thrilled and honored to have join us as we continue our tradition of celebrating playwrights in Independence, Kansas. This Festival was created to honor William Motter Inge, born and raised here in Independence. Our hope is that we continue to nurture playwrights, artists, and their work by creating the space, community and opportunity for them to flourish.
During the 42nd William Inge Theatre Festival, we hope you will experience the wonders of new work at the 8th New Play Lab, see a full production of HELENS OF TROY NEW YORK by 2024 Playwright in Residence Emma Horwitz’s, hear a new play by our Playwright in Residence Bruce Walsh, attend a workshop, engage in discussions. Most of all we hope you join us as we continue to build community and honor the work of playwrights in a playwrights’ town.
