SI Shakespearean Theatre Presents Women’s Playwright Collective “Not Forgotten Play Festival” Tonight, Tomorrow
August 19 & 20 at 7:00pm
The “Not Forgotten Play Festival” (NFPF) is the Women’s Playwright Collective’s (WPC) focal point of its season, celebrating the new works created by that year’s Collective Members. The 5th NFPF will showcase the original works of the 2022 Collective Members, all around the theme of “Returning.” Returning to one’s self, the return of the inevitable, the return to the cosmos, and much more!
Not only will you, the audience members, be able to enjoy an evening of new works, but you will be able to have a hand in shaping our 2023 season by voting on which play will receive a staging in our April slot.
