Fun, fringe & everything in between!

Festivals are foundational the mission of Stage Left, providing opportunities to explore new forms of storytelling

and highlighting new or historically-excluded voices.

EMPOWER

Empower originated in 2020 as a part of Stage Left’s Virtual Season. This boudoir-inspired monologue series explores the unique, yet unifying experience of womanhood, produced fully through a female (femme) lens.

THE MORE THE MERRIER!

Because of their minimal time commitment, Festivals offer the opportunity for several performers to participate. Festivals are for actors of all experience levels to showcase their talents. It is truly an actor and playwright playground!

FAST & FURIOUS

Fast & Furious established its roots in 2015 and produced some of the most memorable theater magic moments in the Spokane Theater scene.

A collection of 40 one-page plays highlights a versatile cast and budding playwrights from around the nation.

Putting the FUN in "Fundraising"!

Festivals are also integral to the financial health and sustainability, as they do not require the production expenses of the fully produced Core Season.

Festivals are an excellent way to get involved at Stage Left!

LEFTOVERS

Leftovers, the original festival, dates back to 2014. One never knows what to expect!

It all happens in 24-hours! Teams are matched with playwrights, who are given a prop to include. 12 hours of writing an original script, followed by 12 hours of rehearsal and putting it on in front of a live audience!
