A festival of freshly written family theater
Olympia Family Theater will be giving 6 playwrights, 6 local directors, and 25 local actors a super-secret (family friendly) writing prompt and they all have just 24-hours to write, direct and rehearse the show! The teams will have to flex their creative muscles so that they can put on one of the south sound’s first EVER family friendly festivals of this type!
Audiences will experience the awesome creative power of freshly made, original theater. Each performance will feature six 10-minute plays, each created for an all ages audience. One weekend only!
For audiences, each performance promises surprises, lively crowds and some great local theater!
This special event is produced in collaboration with Northwest Playwrights Alliance and is a fundraiser for Olympia Family Theater. All seats are just $10!
