The Cultural Development Corporation (CuDC) proudly presented the Source Festival (formerly Washington Theatre Festival), reviving a lively three-week festival showcasing playwrights, actors and directors and encouraging the creation and presentation of new work. The festival featured ten-minute plays, a 24-hour performance-building experience, one-act plays and a range of interdisciplinary work.

The Source Festival seeks to unite DC artists by providing opportunities for new artistic challenges and collaborations while presenting timely, cutting-edge performances for greater DC audiences. The Source Festival offers the unique opportunity to experience the synergy and innovation that results from the partnerships between established and emerging artists. Everything presented in the festival was a new work curated in a process overseen by Festival Producer Jeremy Skidmore.
