The NewFest New Works Festival is a month-long celebration of the creativity of Emerson students.


The Rod Parker Playwriting Award and NewFest are both funded by the generous support of Rod Parker ’51. Mr. Parker wrote his first play while an undergraduate at Emerson College, and in 1991 made the Playwrights' Festival possible by creating an endowment to fund fellowships for student playwrights and support the first productions of their work.


NewFest: On My Honor
Greene Theater | March 19-22, 2015
A new play written by Robin Goldberg, '15
winner of the Rod Parker Playwriting Fellowship
Directed by Joe Antoun


Troop 2185 is the baddest Girl Scout troop on the block, and it's starting to take a toll on the adults. Bad behavior, botched field trips, and don't even get started on the uniforms: On My Honor is a dark comedy about honesty, fairness, courage, compassion and...cookies.
