24 HOUR PLAY FEST
MARCH 14th-15th
TEAM SELECTION: Friday March 14th at 7PM
SHOWTIME: Saturday March 15th at 8PM
Create, Compete, Collapse. Play Fest brings 70+ volunteers together for an unforgettable 24 hour race to put on a show. On Friday, March 14th all these volunteer actors, directors and writers will arrive at the Wood Theater.
Those brave souls will be randomly formed into eight to nine teams, each with 1 writer, 1 director and 3-4 actors. Then a theme for the Fest will be announced and teams will meet for 1 hour before writers go home to write their ten-minute plays (to the year’s theme) that also include a secret line revealed Friday.
Writers must email scripts by 5 AM on Saturday morning (March 15th) and at 7AM that same morning, teams assemble at the theater to receive their scrips AND a secret prop – then have until the curtain opens at 8 PM to rehearse, memorize and stage their ten-minute plays.
Our judges and audience members then vote for their favorites in a number of categories and winners are awarded!
All proceeds support the Wood Theater!

MARCH BOOK CLUB
MARCH 19TH
March Pick: The Teller of Small Fortunes
Wednesday March 19th at 6:30PM
Wood Theater Cabaret Space [207 Glen Street]
Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells ‘small’ fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences. Even if it’s a lonely life, it’s better than the one she left behind. But a small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed thief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they’re joined by a baker with a ‘knead’ for adventure, and–of course–a slightly magical cat.
