[playfest³] is an opportunity for passionate creatives to refine and develop their artistic skills across three disciplines at once: writing, directing, and acting! Students in this class will begin writing original 7–10 minute plays starting in mid-July.

Then, in August, they’ll spend two weeks directing and acting in each other’s pieces. The class culminates in a public showcase at Green Shirt Studio on Saturday, August 16 at 7:00pm.

During the two week rehearsal process, your facilitator will offer individualized support and artistic coaching throughout rehearsals, provide structure and accountability to keep all groups on track, and handle logistics so you can focus on the work.

This class is for you if:

• You want to flex your artistic muscles in a fast-paced, supportive, and collaborative environment.

• You're available to attend all of the dates listed below. (If you have any conflicts but still want to participate, please reach out before registering.)

• You have some experience in at least two of the three areas: acting, writing, or directing.
