,We have once again come to the end of another successful Fall Festival. We were so thrilled by the reactions and insights that our audiences had toward the four plays that were presented. Getting to share such incredible art with our audience is what we are truly passionate about and we couldn’t have done it without the support of our community.

As we conclude our Fall Festival, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this event possible:

A huge thank you to our playwrights Shanna Allman, Keiko Green, Minita Gandhi and Novid Parsi. Your imagination and insights into the human experience made for an event that was both deeply emotional and endlessly entertaining.

Thank you to our Host Playwrights E.M. Lewis and Clarence Coo for running the talk-backs and workshops and keeping the event moving.

To the talented actors and directors whose voices brought our playwrights' words to life: your interpretations and insights are what make these new works resonate so deeply with our audience.

To our dedicated volunteers: your enthusiasm, hard work, and passion for the arts have truly shone through. From managing logistics to welcoming guests, your contributions have been invaluable. We couldn’t have done it without you!

A special thank you to our incredible readers who took on the monumental task of reviewing 350 plays. Your dedication and insights allowed us to narrow it down to the four exceptional works that were showcased this year.

To everyone who attended the readings: your support and enthusiasm are what make our festival possible.

Together, you have all played a vital role in fostering creativity and supporting emerging talent. We look forward to seeing you at future events as we continue to celebrate the power of new plays.

Thank you for being a part of our community. We'll see you next year -  Oct. 15-19, 2025!
