New lineup for INKubator brings everything from tech thrillers to drama

Art House Productions has announced the lineup for their 2024 INKubator New Play Festival which will take place from May 13 to 21.

This year’s playwrights are Upasna Barath, Amanda Sage Comerford, Leo Layla Díaz, Neil Levi, Dave Osmundsen and Marcus Scott.

Audiences who attend the festival will have the opportunity to participate in conversations with the writers, directors, and actors following each performance.

INKubator is a year-long generative process for a select group of six playwrights in residence at Art House Productions. During the program, playwrights meet on a monthly basis with program director Alex Tobey to share new work, get feedback and develop a first draft of a new play.

The program culminates in the INKubator New Play Festival where the playwrights work with professional directors and actors to hear the play read aloud for the first time. Casting will be announced at a later date.

“It’s incredible to think six years have flown by since our first INKubator cohort in 2018,” said Tobey. “Since then, INKubator has nurtured 38 playwrights, with their works seen in readings and productions nationwide. I’m excited to showcase New Jersey’s top playwrights once more, and unite artists and audiences to foster new play development in Jersey City.”
