One act festival
Are you a writer? A director? A stage manager? An actor? We need them all! Submit an original one act play that you want us to perform! It can be adapted from a larger play you've written, a show written just for the festival, or a play you wrote years ago! This is also a great opportunity for directors to get involved with smaller projects, and for stage managers to get their name out there.
Performance: October 27
