The Festival is an initiative of the theater program at GWU dedicated to developing new plays and encouraging early-career playwrights. Belt Play is a serious exploration of the aftermath of child abuse. The dark comedy Chess Club is an eccentric tale of survival and cannibalism. Brainstorm spoofs the world of corporate business and its excessive investment in stupidity. Small, Medium, Large is a riotous comedy exposing the folly behind coffee shop cup sizes. Curiosity Kills is a ridiculous comedy about friendship and the untimely death of a cat. The Old Man and His Will explores the meaninglessness of a man's life devoted to the pursuit of money.
