The Atelier @ Theaterlab | First Look Series
Cellunova Productions Proudly Presents:
Cellunova One-Act Staged Reading Festival
Join us on a 3-day theatrical metamorphosis at Cellunova’s first-ever One-Act Staged Reading Festival, running from October 13th to 15th, 2023.
Eight brand-new plays, all intricately woven around the theme of metamorphosis, will take stage at Atelier @ Theaterlab over four shows. This festival invites you to explore a tapestry of narratives—from tourist traps to solitary, from landfill to motel lobby, from the new girl to the wives, and from the future to the mythological realm. In this unique gathering of imaginative minds, emerging playwrights, visionary directors, and our diverse cast come together to breathe life into these compelling stories. We can’t wait to celebrate these transformative moments with you!
