Pipeline is launching an exciting new initiative in 2026, designed to fill a critical gap in support for artistic projects currently in development. Our NewWorks Accelerator will provide commissioning funds to push artists’ interdisciplinary theater projects forward.

This high-impact program will culminate in the Pipeline NewWorks Showcase; a vibrant series of in-progress presentations geared toward fostering audience interest and industry support. During the Showcase, participants will share 20 minute excerpts of their supported works to an audience that includes peers, collaborators, and industry leaders —offering artists a powerful platform to forge essential connections and propel their projects toward full production.

Our inaugural Showcase will include 20 minute presentations from three in-development musicals and panel chats with 4 playwrights from our PlayLab writers group. The Showcase will culminate in an Artist Reception and Sponsorship Kiki, where artists, producers, and audience members can share sips and bites while connecting.

The NewWorks Showcase keeps Pipeline’s mission front and center: making the impossible possible by giving artists the support they need at the most crucial stages of development and connecting them with the champions who can help bring their remarkable ideas to life.
