Wanted: Scapegoat, No Experience Necessary

"This festival is a part of Company of Fools' ongoing commitment to the digital theatre space, as well as the commitment to support unproduced and unpublished playwrights," stated Tyler Riley, Company of Fools' artistic director.
This festival is free to view for all and will premiere Friday, February 24th at 7 p.m. (ET) on the Company of Fools' YouTube channel.
