Pegasus PlayLab is a new play festival hosted every summer at the University of Central Florida. This festival is dedicated to developing new works by emerging playwrights from across the country. Two full-length plays are selected for workshops on campus, one piece brings together participants with and without disabilities to devise a completely original work, and one play is selected to receive a full developmental production on campus in UCF’s Black Box Theatre.
