WHAT IS ENVISAGE?

Envisage Play Festival: a celebration of new works is a play festival created by Webster University & Conservatory students to produce new works and theater allowing young artists to have a voice in ways previously unheard of.

Founded by Brooke Viegut and Jake Kevrick, this festival (and company) is designed to allow students of all aspects of theater to come together and create new, innovative work that they are passionate about. This gives budding playwrights a platform to produce their work, as well as provide directing, acting, design, and dramaturgy opportunities to the students of Webster University. 

These opportunities serve as a lab, with the goal not being a full-fledged production but rather a chance to grow and explore areas of a craft that are often not offered to students. We strive to create a safe, creative environment to allow each other to try new things and receive feedback from an audience on their work.

THE ENVISAGE TEAM

Founding Artistic Director Brooke Viegut is the mastermind behind this festival. She has had an interest in new work since she choreographed dances to Mary Poppins at a very young age. The festival brings opportunities to students like herself to share their views of the world in a time of political, social, and religious turmoil. She has created a world where directors, designers, writers, and actors alike come together and create pieces that could one day revolutionize theatre and the world.

Jake Kevrick, Founding Director of New Plays & Resident Playwright, is a playwright to strives to write about the world around him. With a very unique outlook on theater and life, Jake aims to create plays that challenge both the audience and the storytellers in intellectual and emotional ways. Through the festival he strives to create new opportunity for student playwrights to see their work onstage.
