Artists' Exchange's 9th Annual One Act Play Festival Announces Wave II, 8/8-16

By:

Artists' Exchange's 9th Annual One Act Play Festival comes to Theatre 82 (82 Rolfe Square), running July 25th - August 16th, Fridays & Saturdays at 7pm. One act plays of all genres will be presented in 2 two-week "waves". Advance tickets: $15; $20 at door.

Since 2006, Artists' Exchange has hosted the One Act Play Festival (OAPF) for the entertainment and enjoyment of the Cranston community. Short plays are submitted from local, regional, and national playwrights and then selected for performance by a panel of directors/artists. Casts feature community actors ranging in sex, age, and experience levels.

Now in its ninth year, the OAPF started in the intimate Black Box Theatre at Artists' Exchange and has grown into the larger Theatre 82. Artists' Exchange continues to bring quality, accessible, and affordable art and theatre to families, individuals, and groups in this traditional summer event.
