WE DID IT! 11 YEARS!

Thanks to everyone who made it out to perform and watch shows, and to teach and participate in our festival workshops. We made a lot of new friends and got some quality time in with old ones.

A very special thanks to Jen Caldwell, Lennon Parham and Rich Talarico for joining us, teaching workshops and being part of our great festival all-star shows.

Next year, the festival returns to August where it started, so keep your eyes peeled for submissions and updates!
