Young Playwrights Festival hits the ground running
Okay so I totally forgot to take pictures so excuse the semi-decent jpeg on the side. More importantly though people the festival had it's opening night tonight and it started off with a bang! I got the chance tonight at the ACT Theatre to see four out of the eight plays being featured in the Young Playwrights Festival. Yet again I was shocked and amazed at the level of sophistication and wit that are coming from these high schoolers... some even who are just in junior high! The first act (Program A) gave the audience a crazy old man with a dog, a track coach who blurred the age line, a trailer trash blond looking to become a princess, and split personality therapist who couldn't let go. If that doesn't tickle your theatre bone then I don't really know what else will. I can only imagine what the rest of the program has to offer. Shows will continue throughout the weekend so be sure the check the ACT Theatre website on when and where things are happening as well as how to purchase tickets. These young writers are getting an opportunity of a lifetime to be able to have access to some of the best actors in Seattle and showcase their words in front of an audience so show your support people. The tickets are only $10 and if you go on Saturday, you can see both of the programs and only have to pay once. Get out and show some support!
