Colorado New Play Festival

The Colorado New Play Festival brings theatre companies from across the United States to develop new plays for the American theatre.

The year is 2169. Wildfires rage across the West as two environmental activists embark on a daring plan to steal a taxidermied bison from the American Museum of Natural History. This is the premise of Collin Van Son’s latest play and before it’s produced by the Mosaic Theater Company in Washington, D.C., it’s coming to Steamboat Springs during the Colorado New Play Festival next month. Ahead of the reading, Collin chatted with Steamboat Magazine on his writing background (with a surprise twist), his creative process and what he hopes the audience will take away from this project.
