Please join Idyllwild Arts for this collaborative performance produced by the InterArts, Creative Writing, and Dramatic Arts departments! The works are entirely written, directed, and performed by students.
The Playwriting class, taught by Abbie Bosworth, has a wide array of student experience, and they use this opportunity to share their wisdom, culture, and advice. Playwriting students partner with the Directing class, led by Jeanette Knight, and actors from all majors audition for the roles.
These performances will be judged by Abbie Bosworth, Jeanette Knight, and Denis Stryjewsky to decide which plays will move on to be semi-produced in January.
This year’s featured performances are:
