Since 2013, The Rough Draft Festival at LaGuardia Performing Arts Center has celebrated the development of exciting, new work from fresh voices in the theater community.
LPAC is proud to offer real industry experience and education for students right here on campus with the Rough Draft Festival. Student participants have the opportunity to work alongside industry professionals, receive feedback on their work, and participate in educational workshops and moderated talkbacks.
This year, we are excited to announce the first-ever ROUGH CUT FILM FESTIVAL.
In the spirit of the Rough Draft Festival, the Rough-Cut Film Festival will provide filmmakers the opportunity to share their rough-cut, work-in-progress film with audiences before completion.
APRIL 3RD PROGRAMMING (FREE EVENTS - JUST RSVP TO JOIN!)
