Great variety of interesting, creative and well-acted plays.

The new scripts were inventive, well acted and just plain fun. Superb direction from some very impressive directors who have invested in Playground, and the creation/development of drama in our time. You should go, definitely!!!

A very rich evening of theatre with lots of humor and depth. The performances at the Festival were much more polished than the Monday night staged readings. I enjoyed seeing each actor playing different roles. Direction was uniformly skilled.
