Theater Mu's longstanding New Eyes Festival is an incubator for new Asian American voices, and its 2026 iteration features nationally selected, 10-minute plays that respond to the question, "What does freedom mean to you?", as well as an in-progress reading of HMONG FUTURES.
The New Eyes Festival is free to attend, and audiences can expect a staged reading of each play. A reading is a form of theater without sets or full costumes, and actors read from scripts and incorporate minimal stage movement.
Playwrights: Kyle Camay, Rammel Chan, Nicholas Pilapil, Katie Ka Vang, Saymoukda Duangphouxay Vongsay, Dexieng Yang, & Brandon Zang
