About the One Act Play Festival
The One Act Play Festival will be held on March 28 & 29, 2025 at 7:00 PM with doors opening at 6:30PM in the Singh Performance Center. The Festival features a diverse lineup of compelling one-act plays, showcasing the creativity and talent of local performers, directors and play writers. Audiences can expect drama, comedy and thought provoking storytelling all packed into a series of short, engaging performances. Tickets will be available at the door for $5 per person and $15 per family. Tickets purchased on Friday provide entry to both nights!
The two esteemed Festival judges, producer, writer, performer, and former One Act Play Festival winner, Vivian Eliza Nichols, and Emmy Nominated producer, filmmaker, writer, and performer, Skip Shea, will be in attendance to provide professional feedback and decide the winners. Their years of experience and insight will help them provide constructive guidance, after each performance, to the actors, directors, and writers, and will also enhance the audience's appreciation of the performances.
At the conclusion of the Festival, three prizes will be awarded in recognition of the Best Original Act, Best Ensemble and Best-in-Show!
