PARTICIPANTS CAN USE THE RECORDING OF THEIR SHOWS AS AN ASSET FOR FUTURE MARKETING AND TO PROVIDE REEL MATERIAL FOR FUTURE INDUSTRY MANAGERS
FURTHERMORE, FILMING THE SHOW MEANS THAT FRIENDS AND FAMILY CAN PURCHASE TICKETS TO ATTEND OVER ZOOM - SPECIFICALLY THOSE WHO CAN'T TRAVEL TO SEE THE PERFORMANCES. THIS MAKES IT AVAILABLE TO ANYONE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY OR THE WORLD
When you stage your work, you discover ways to enhance and improve your presentation and story.
This is a unique opportunity to invite people from the industry to see your production! People are more likely to go see a show than to read an unsolicited script - some industry people receive on average thousands of submissions per month. They understand that the journey for a show to be successful often goes through several productions and this is your chance to show that you can start that process!
Our dedicated team is here to help you get your work out. We are with you from the moment you begin tech rehearsals, all the way through to your closing performance.
You will never be left alone during the process. We will help you choose from the 85 set/furniture pieces we offer to dress your stage for your run, and we will give you a complete crash course on how to use the audio/light/video system in just 3 minutes, which are intentionally designed to be very user friendly.
After we show you how to use the tools we provide and how to best utilize the space, The Festival’s team will provide prime responses to every inquiry, as well as a telephone # you can call anytime during relevant hours throughout the run of your show
In 12 years and 22 seasons we have successfully hosted 1,400 plays and 300 musicals, as well as rewarding over 300 participating artists cash prizes.
Yours could be the next production onstage!

Fate puts Elaine and her daughter Vivian back together. Elaine, is a drifter moving around from place to place—in Florida, and then ends up in New York City. She has struggled with substance abuse for most of her adult life. Her childhood friend Ricardo, gives her a place to crash. But to no surprise to him, Elaine doesn’t have two pennies to rub together, and can’t even hold down a job-As bad days and bad nights keep piling up on Elaine, she ends up in the rehab clinic of Vivian’s husband, Charles—so their unexpected reunion becomes inevitable.
Charles, with a heart of gold wants the best for everyone, and for everyone to settle their differences, so they can all be a big happy family. But things take a turn for the worse. Sometimes Fate only gives you one opportunity to make things right. And when it slips through your fingers, everything gets out of whack…until years later, perhaps things fall into place..
It's been nearly three years since the school shooting known to the world as "What Cheer Six Age Six," and the deeply knit community of What Cheer in Upstate New York is struggling to move forward. Four of the six moms remain in this small, heartbroken town, relying on self-destructive coping to function at all, while their friends and family attempt to act as the glue holding everything and everyone together. A young woman searching for connection brings a vibrant and curious energy to town, a cheerful energy not welcome in What Cheer. Until her energy starts to crack the fragile shell these moms have been living in. The shell the town has been protecting for them. And when the shell cracks it shatters. From there, the question becomes clear: Is it scarier to face your pain, or to live in it?
