Astra Nova means “new stars.” At Astra Nova, we have industry professionals donating their time to help emerging playwrights develop the plays of the future.
Productions
Astra Nova has, in the past, produced a play most years and one or two side hustles. Jingle Bells Sucks and Jingle Bells Sucks Baubles and Why Men Run at 2am have been successful additions the Ad Astra season. We have also partnered with other organisations like RadioActive to produce an a interactive theatre experience at the Baedeker Bar, to kick off a thriller movie screening. If you have a play that is written that you would like to submit to Astra Nova for consideration in its next intake - please email submissions @adastracreativity.com

“Performed and commissioned as part of Astra Nova Youth Creatives, Jingle Bells Sucks Baubles is a show that will 110% get you in the Christmas cheer!”
