Featuring a handpicked selection of new works from local playwrights, the festival promises innovative storytelling, bold artistic voices, and an experience like no other. With professional actors presenting these script-in-hand readings, you'll have the chance to focus entirely on the powerful words and stories, free from distractions. Immediately following the performances, you will have the opportunity to share your thoughts directly with the playwrights during post-show discussions, helping to shape the next stage of these profound works!
We're also thrilled to announce a bold new direction: merging SNAP with the Young Playwrights Festival. This collaboration brings fresh perspectives across generations, featuring raw talent, dynamic scripts, and performances that push theatrical boundaries.
Enjoy the Town Hall happy hour from 6:00-6:30pm and 1:00-1:30pm, and enjoy a $1 off all beer, wine, and cocktails! Including music provided by Front Porch Music and the Contra Costa Performing Arts Society!
