Now in its 33rd year, the NW New Works Festival presents experimental and in-progress work from Northwest artists. The Festival provides artists with rehearsal time, an honorarium, documentation, and the opportunity to present their work on the stages of OtB. The NW New Works Festival has helped launch careers for many local performers. Artists such as Zoe Scofield, Trimpin, Paul Budraitis, Hand2Mouth Theatre, Waxie Moon, Lori Goldston, Kyle Loven, Degenerate Art Ensemble, and Sarah Rudinoff have all participated in the Festival.

The Festival lineup is curated by a panel of peer artists and arts administrators: James Holt, Dani Tirrell, Shin Yu Pai, Ella Mahler, Hatlo, Jerry Tischleder, Erin Daughton, and OtB Staff.
