One Acts

Our One-Act New Play Festival is on hiatus...but we will be back! Watch this space...and KEEP WRITING!)

Our One-Act New Play Festival is on hiatus, waiting for a Covid-free season. The festival presents short plays written, directed, acted, and designed by students. It's one of the most fun and popular events of the season and a great way to get involved in the Theatre Program with a lesser time commitment than one of our mainstage productions! See below for the many ways to get involved.
