The Fresh Looks Festival is BACK for a THIRD year!

Are you a writer? Do you have a script for a play or musical you’d love to hear actors read aloud, in a theater, with a little lighting, and guidance from a director? Well we have the event for you!

Submit your script to Fresh Looks! 8 scripts will be chosen to receive a staged reading in The Storyteller Theater, a new venue in Aurora.

Scripts must be submitted between June 30th and August 15th 2026
Script must be complete, but first drafts are accepted
Scripts must be full length shows, at least one act
Musicals submitted must have completed sheet music for at least 75% of songs at the time of submission
Scripts must be new and not previously produced (previous staged readings are accepted)

This entire festival is a volunteer effort, from directors to actors, so unfortunately there is no pay available. This festival is designed to get writers a chance to see what their script sounds like, get feedback from other artists, and see their show performed in front of an audience!

As a special bonus — the script whose performance has the highest attendance will receive 50% of their ticket sales as a little seed money to keep going!

Submit your script at the Google Form in our bio or that same form on our website!

We are looking forward to another year of new work!

Stranger Sings, The Parody Musical
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Jonathan Hogue
10/31-11/14 The Storyteller Theater

Take a trip back to Hawkins, Indiana: 1983… when times were simpler, hair was bigger, and unsupervised children were getting snatched by inter-dimensional creatures. A hilarious ‘upside down’ take on the hit Netflix series - and all its campy 1980s glory. Join Mike, Eleven, Lucas, Dustin, and the whole Hawkins gang for a night of adventure, thrills, pubescent angst, heavy synth, poor parenting, convoluted love triangles, cheap effects, dancing monsters, and maybe, just maybe... justice for everyone’s favorite missing ginger, Barb Holland.

4/16-4/24 The Storyteller Theater

Wracked with grief, coder Merril creates an A.I. chatbot that can perfectly recreate her deceased sister Angie. But what happens when Angie has to meet other people? The taut thriller asks questions about grief, loss, and technological advancement. Lauren Gunderson’s script plays with elements of murder mystery, family saga, and modern techno-thriller, and explores the ways that artificial intelligence and new developments in technology could not help and hinder the progress of those mourning a loved one.

Fall Springs, A Musical Disaster
Music and Lyrics by Niko Tsakalakos
Book and Lyrics by Peter Nachtrieb

Fall Springs is a semi-charming landlocked cash-strapped town that sits directly on top of America's largest reserve of cosmetic Essential Oils. With new fracking techniques being recklessly implemented, the ground beneath Fall Springs is beginning to crumble. Streets are cracking and buckling. Only Eloise Bradley, nerdy teenage existential wallflower geology-buff daughter of single parent Mayor Robert Bradley seems to notice that a great catastrophe is imminent.

Dramatic action sequences, parent/child angst, lost limbs, found souls, and a rocking, driving, passionate hook-filled score, Fall Springs takes the best of musical theatre and disaster films to forge a hilarious and heartfelt musical comedy about the consequences of pushing Nature too far and what happens when our routine lives become interrupted and we're forced to sacrifice to save what we love.

Spring Awakening
