ORIGINS

CVRep’s ORIGINS was created to give birth to the next great theatrical work of art. As a true "page-to-stage" incubator, the program provides a safe, collaborative, and flexible environment where playwrights, directors, and composers can unlock their work's full potential. The heartbeat of ORIGINS is collaboration—giving  creatives the rare opportunity to workshop unfinished projects and finally hear their words out loud.

​

Each season, CVRep fully funds and produces staged readings of four brand-new theatrical works right here in the Coachella Valley. By the end of the cycle, one exceptional piece is considered to receive its official World Premiere on the CVRep main stage the following year, setting the foundation for the next great Broadway show.

 

The 2026/2027 season is generously sponsored by Erica Hiller Carpenter, and Myron and Joanne Mintz. It is proudly underwritten by David Cohan & Rene Bernard, Marc Schwartz & Jack Grossbart, Joe Giarrusso & Charlie Paglia, and David Dotlich & Doug Elwood.
