“Playtime 2” is a festival of home-grown talent, featuring 16 short plays, (approximately 10
minutes each), written, directed and acted by local artists.
For the playwrights, it’s often the first time their work has been realized on stage. For many of
the directors and actors it’s also their first time on stage or working behind the scenes.
“Playtime 2” serves as a great introduction to the world of live theatre.
Due to the volume of play submissions, the festival is spread over two weekends, with each
weekend featuring a different playbill.
