Creating Worlds
Playwright Festival

August 13 - 16, 2026

Our inaugural playwright festival - ‘Creating Worlds’ - is a celebration of original voices and brand-new stories developed in Big Bear. Audiences will be first to experience these works as they come to life on our stage, fresh from the page. Bold, generative, and alive with possibility, Creating Worlds is proof that Big Bear Lake is a place where art is born.
