One night celebrating new writing, local artists, and stories taking their first steps.About this EventSPEAK: A Collection of Five PlaysSPEAK: A Collection of Five Plays is a new works showcase featuring excerpts from five original plays by a local playwright—brought to life by five different casts in an evening celebrating new writing, local artists, and the thrill of seeing a story take its first steps onstage.🎭 FIVE STORIES. ONE STAGE.Comedy. Drama. Memory. Connection. The unexpected.Each piece introduces a completely new cast, new characters, and a new world—but all five stories inhabit the same theatrical space.A unified set transforms throughout the evening. Hanging fabric catches the light and becomes something new. A metal bed moves between worlds. Familiar objects disappear and return in unexpected places. Music, movement, lighting, and performance reshape the room before your eyes.Nothing is entirely literal.Everything is suggested.And there is no traditional curtain speech.The evening simply begins.✨ THE PLAYSTHE ONE ABOUT THE LETTERA comedy where one letter—and what happens because of it—sets the evening in motion.VIOLETA piece shaped by live music, movement, memory, and an ever-changing theatrical landscape.HIDE AND PEACEAn intimate story unfolding within the quiet familiarity of a bedroom, where what is left unsaid can matter just as much as what is spoken.STAY RIGHT HEREA deceptively simple picnic. Familiar objects. Silence—and the people who choose whether to fill it.MISS ERICA'S ACTING CLASSThe evening's final new world, where the act of performing becomes part of the story itself.🌴 NEW STORIES. LOCAL VOICES.SPEAK marks the beginning of a new works initiative dedicated to giving original writing and local artists a place to meet an audience.Rather than presenting five established titles, this evening offers something rarer:The opportunity to encounter five stories while they are still becoming.Each play features its own cast, creating opportunities for a wide range of local performers to take the stage while introducing audiences to original work created here in our community.Come discover a character you didn't know yesterday.A story you've never heard before.A line no audience has laughed at, gasped at, or sat silently with quite like this audience will.Because new theatre needs more than writers and performers.It needs people willing to be there at the beginning.🎭 SPEAK: A Collection of Five PlaysA New Works Showcase📅 Friday, September 18, 2026🕖 7:00 PM📍 Spirit Animal at Hotel Zoso | Palm SpringsFive plays.Five casts.One stage.Come hear what Palm Springs has to say.🎟 Reserve your seats and be part of the beginning. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/207c5680-ab57-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w512-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/palm-springs/speak-a-collection-of-five-new-plays-a-new-works-showcase/100001995699930214 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Entertainment, Art, performances, Theatre, Music, comedy, Workshops, literary-art, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-09-19T01:00:00Z - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Spirit Animal - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 23.18, max: 23.18, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Palm Springs - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Spirit Animal - **lat**: 33.822003 - **long**: -116.545106 - **full address**: Spirit Animal, 150 South Indian Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: SPEAK: A Collection of Five New Plays | A New Works Showcase - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/21fe143920ec008d05cd973a38eccfde748b7493851fa0ba35513867c0bde236-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1785395475 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is SPEAK: A Collection of Five New Plays | A New Works Showcase being held? - **A:** SPEAK: A Collection of Five New Plays | A New Works Showcase takes place on Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Spirit Animal, 150 South Indian Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing SPEAK: A Collection of Five New Plays | A New Works Showcase? - **A:** SPEAK: A Collection of Five New Plays | A New Works Showcase is organized by Spirit Animal. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
