One Act Play Festival!Venture Theatre’s 15th Annual One Act Play Festival
Seven Short Plays to Trip Your Imagination!
Adultery, espionage, para-normal activity, life threatening situations – a lineup for a new FOX-TV series? No, it’s just a few of the themes explored in the wildly popular Venture Theatre’s One Act Play Festival!
The 15th Annual One Act Play Festival continues Venture Theatre's tradition of staging new works with a focus on local writing talent, local directors and a local cast. The unique "page to stage," workshop format is designed to encourage audience feedback to the director, actors and playwright. Each writer/director team will have the opportunity to modify their show and re-stage it again several times before the final performances.
The Festival is produced by Venture Theatre’s Artistic Director Robert Brian Wood and sponsored by The Billings Outpost.
Workshop performances will be held in the Venture Black Box Theater on January 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, and 14. All seven shows will be performed on January 15, 16, 22 and 23.
