Every year, it gets harder and harder to select a final line-up. Maybe it’s the fact that this year’s theme drew such a wild variety of work that I feel like – were the opportunity there – I could have done two weekends with two different festival line-ups and both would have freakin’ ROCKED!
But – although we’ve grown – we haven’t unlocked two-weekend status yet.
So I had the difficult, but beautiful challenge, of creating one final and winning line-up.
I’ve got to say, it’s going to be a kick-ass evening of work! Please scroll down to see our official selections for the 2017 Female Playwrights ONSTAGE Festival: Hot Mess. We hope you’ll join us July 6th – 8th in Prescott, AZ for this new play event. Our non-profit this year is Days For Girls, with a portion of proceeds benefiting this most excellent and necessary organization – so you can have an awesome time, while also doing some good, which is really all kinds of fantastic!
Tickets are available HERE. Stay in touch with us via Facebook and Twitter for more updates.
