Four staged readings of two brand new shows.

September 24-26, 2026
Art House North, St. Paul, MN

Missed the Boat Theatre is proud to host its 2026 New Works Lab on September 24-26 at Art House North in Saint Paul, MN. These two plays, originally submitted for our 2025 New Works Festival, will be workshopped to help the playwrights edit their scripts. These plays were chosen to be read dramatically onstage, in front of the playwright, director, and an audience. This is a key stage of development before these shows are ready to be produced fully. This lab is dedicated to the development of shows written from a Catholic Christian worldview.
