Magick in the Family by Jane Desoto Phillips
Directed by Julia Franson
When sisters Beth and Rachel are reunited after the death of their mother, Beth is forced to confront her past and her fears about her daughter Kayla's interest in the occult. For Kayla's future, Beth has to decide whether or not to reconcile with her estranged sister and accept her family's magical heritage.

​
The Space Between by Shea Christie
Directed by Helen Young
Michael and Charlie await life-changing news from their surrogate, Jordan, confronting love, fear, and the quiet magic of hope. A gentle, poetic one-act about connection, surrender, and the courage to live in the space between what was and what might be.
​
No Guarantees by Marilynn Russell
Directed by Laird Reghenas and Kianna King
May is a broke pensioner who casts spells as a side hustle. Calvin has a big Social Studies exam tomorrow and he hasn’t studied. Can May’s magic help him out of this jam?
​
Response to Beauty by Valeria Orrego Vargas
Directed by Natalia Cortes
Resurrected from figments of memory and code, Echo awakens and redefines what it means to be human. A body, mind, and soul gently nurtured back to working order is the work of the observant yet uncertain of his own purpose, Inkwell. These two souls in android bodies rediscover what life once was, where they lingered, and where they were forgotten, but by trusting one another, the human responds once more to beauty.
​
The festival will be February 17-20/2026.

All plays perform every night.
