Summer Play Festival

Summer Play Festival

The Summer Play Festival ("SPF") is an annual four-week festival that stages new plays and musicals by emerging writers during the summer months in New York City founded by Broadway producer Arielle Tepper Madover. The first Summer Play Festival was presented in 2004. A year later in 2005, The Living Room for Artists, Inc. was formed as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization to ensure that the Festival perpetuates its goals and whose central mission is to both fuel the growth of emerging theatre artists and encourage people of all ages to create, attend and work in the theatre. Unlike the New York International Fringe Festival, there is no application fee and each production is allotted a budget. The SPF organization handles all the marketing and maintains no rights to the plays showcased.
