JULY 29- AUGUST 9, 2026

The South Carolina New Play Festival (SCNPF) is excited to present a 2026 multi-day event featuring our “can't-miss” Broadway Cabaret starring Drew Gehling, currently playing Will Shakespeare in & Juliet.

The 2026 festival will also host the SC New Play Festival’s first full production, The House That I Live In: Josh White’s America, taking July 29-August 9 as part of the fifth anniversary season of the festival. The original musical by Donnetta Lavinia Grays is inspired by the true-life story of the Greenville-born blues and folk musician Josh White, who rose to fame in the 1930s and 1940s as a singer-songwriter and as a pioneer in the civil rights movement.

We will also be returning with our Spinx Market Live Arts Fair on Main Street,
