ORIGINS
The New Works Program at CVRep

ORIGINS features selected stage readings of brand-new works that will premiere on stage at CVRep. The 2025/2026 season, sponsored by Erica Hiller Carpenter, Myron and Joanne Mintz; Co-Sponsored by David Cohan and Rene Bernard with Marc Schwartz and Jack Grossbart, Joe Giarrusso and Charlie Paglia with David Dotlich and Doug Elwood; underwritten by Suz Hunt, Dean and Jackie Stolber, and Phyllis Siegel, will feature four brand new theatrical works. At the end of the season one of the readings will be considered to have a world premiere at CVRep the following year. It is a true ‘page to stage’ program that is committed to seeing the full development of the next Broadway Show. 

CVREP is creating a platform in which to give birth to the next great theatrical work of art. ORIGINS is a safe, creative, collaborative and flexible environment for writers, directors and composers to see their work reach its full potential. The emphasis is on providing these creatives an opportunity to collaborate on unfinished projects and to hear their work aloud.  Each project invited to join this process through ORIGINS will be fully funded and produced by CVREP, right here in Coachella Valley.

SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THE 2025/2026 SEASON. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE SUBMITTED THEIR WORK.
