The Elysian's Fourth Annual SPAGHETTI FESTIVAL ★★★ Fall 2025 ★★★

This November... Spaghetti is BACK!
submissions now open for 2025!

The Spaghetti Festival is The Elysian’s annual new works festival showcasing wild new works from emerging talent. We’re tossing spaghetti against a wall to see what sticks. Some will, and some won't, and that’s what’s exciting!

We’re looking for your unproduced great idea that you feel can flourish with some encouragement, a scrappy little budget, and a hard deadline. In the course of several months, you will bring that idea to life with a debut on the Elysian stage.

Shows can incorporate any style or genre that drives you and does not need to be strictly comedy. They may include interactive, solo, or group performances that are driven by an interesting or unique concept or story. We’re particularly interested in ensemble devised work; experimental theater; genre-bending/culture-clashing performances; and work from diverse creators and teams.

Selected shows will receive a performance slot, promotional support, free workshops, development assistance from our Artistic Director and staff, & more!

*SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE BY SUNDAY, JUNE 1ST AT 11:59PM PT*
