The Ensemble Theatre Company’s 2025 Young Playwrights Festival presents three “searingly honest and unflinchingly bold new works” at the New Vic in Santa Barbara at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 10.
Society by Zev Vitanza, Captive by Naomi Farkas, and The Outtakes by Fennel Emmanuelle Higley deal with, respectively, social status, toxic relationships, and the fallout of fame—three issues that clearly matter to their generation.
No reservations are required and the event is free and open to the public. This year’s Young Playwrights Festival is made possible through the support of The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation.
