2nd Annual Wet Ink Play Festival...


Past Production - April 2009
Written by 6 local writers
Directed by 6 directors

The Wet Ink Play Festival is an event at which we invite 6 writers, 6 directors and 24 actors, and throw them together to write, direct, rehearse and produce six one-act plays in a 24 hour period of time. 
 
Artists and audience will meet on Friday night, April 3, 2009, to determine (through audience suggestions and participation) which writers, directors and actors will be paired up.  The names of the shows will even come from the audience!  The writers will begin writing immediately, and as they have material, the directors and actors will take it from there!  All will come back to the stage on Saturday night, April 4th, to perform their freshly written works...hence the name, the Wet Ink Play Festival!
