Neighborhood House Play Festival

Overview

In August 2022, we presented the inaugural version of a short play competition inviting script submissions with the theme of “revolutionary spirit.” This theme elicited an eclectic mix of creative artists using varied mediums. The top plays (selected by the audience) received support from CCNH to cover production costs for the Fringe Festival 2022, plus the use of a fully-equipped Neighborhood House Theater, Rehearsal Space, Technical Assistance, and Publicity. 

Christ Church Neighborhood House Program’s mission is simple – to support artists and audiences by providing a platform for the creation and curation of new work. As the Neighborhood House Program evolves, we hope to offer more artistic residency and presenting opportunities that contextualize our unique history and offer space to emerging artists.

Christ Church Neighborhood House

Through Christ Church Neighborhood House (CCNH), Christ Church Preservation Trust supports artists and audiences by providing a platform for the creation and presentation of new work. For nearly two decades, CCNH has facilitated a subsidized rental program for artists interested in using performance spaces in the Christ Church Neighborhood House building (located behind historic Christ Church at 2nd and Market Streets). In recent years, CCNH has begun to commission artists to create site-specific works informed by the rich 327-year history of the Christ Church Campus.
