We are thrilled to announce the 2025 return of Rivendell Theatre Ensemble’s annual Fresh Produce: New Plays with Women+ at the Core. Launched in 2004, Rivendell’s Fresh Produce is known for supporting the development of risky, innovative, and compelling new work. During each series, our staff curates an exciting slate of new plays to be nurtured through an intensive workshop process culminating in a public sharing with the opportunity for a moderated dialogue between artists and audience. Stay tuned for the announcement of the 2025 Fresh Produce Playwrights.
Each project culminates in a public sharing with the opportunity for a moderated dialogue between artists and audience. We hope you will join us as we sow the seeds of original new work about women+ once again! *This year, our festival mission utilizes the term “women+” to better capture an expansive definition of gender across the spectrum.
