Theatre NOVA pays special attention to new plays from emerging playwrights and is dedicated to working with these new voices, helping them to them develop their craft. The theater created the Michigan Playwrights Festival to nurture Michigan playwrights and to develop full-length plays for future seasons.

"Resisting" was lauded by audiences and critics and earned a Wilde Award nomination for Best New Script and was awarded Best Original Production.
