GHOSTS: A Festival of Original One-Act Plays

Five original one-act plays take you on an unexpected journey

DECEMBER 2021

Ana served as the Production Stage Manager for this festival of five original one-act plays, which were rehearsed via Zoom and in-person, recorded at 18th & Union (Seattle, WA) with cast and crew present, and officially livestreamed for audiences December 10 & 11, 2021, with each night’s performances followed by a Zoom talk-back.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:

The Festival of Original One-Act Plays is part of the The Shattered Glass Project’s Director and Playwright Incubator/Mentor Program. These new scripts were written and developed specifically for this festival and are receiving their world premieres.

The 8-month long Incubator/Mentor program seeks to make the theatre world more equitable by empowering theatre artists who have been marginalized on the basis of their gender to move into professional playwright or director roles by creating a lasting peer network of artistic and personal support. The 2021 cohort of 5 playwrights and 4 directors participate in regular workshops with outside teaching artists to refine their creative and professional skills, receive individualized mentorship in their discipline area, and meet collectively to share their writing and directing expertise with one another in a non-hierarchical co-mentoring framework; all with the goal of building relationships to carry throughout their careers.
