Speaking about #NSDF21 James Phillips, NSDF Director said:
“This is NSDF’s 65th annual Festival. None have shown more clearly the resilience of young people. NSDF is about new art, new artists and new communities. Throughout the pandemic we’ve been mentoring companies of brilliant young people from across the country. Because of coronavirus many of them have never even met. But against the odds they have been creating work together, helped by our Associates. Finished shows, readings and works in progress. We’re excited and proud of what they’ve made. It’s been a long winter. We think new voices are the birdsong that will let us know spring has arrived.”
