UPtown's pre-eminent new play reading series returns. Don't miss your opportunity to contribute to the development of these vital new works, which could eventually find their way to our mainstage.


Showing UP - February 2024

UP's "half-baked and brand-spanking" variety show is back just in time for that most star-crossed time of year, Valentine's Day! We are actively seeking 10-minutes pieces with a heart-shaped theme. Monologues, scenes, songs, poems, stories, comedy, op-ed -- whatever you got, we'd LOVE to hear. Email your submission to info@uptheater.org.


Lost Sock Laundry by Ivan Faute

Spring 2024

This New York-set play about immigrants trying to adjust to their new country while clinging to their homelands emerged from UP's 2021 Renewal Reading Series. We are thrilled to give it the full production it deserves.
