Photos from the 2008 Playwrights Festival

 

   

Left: In “Veteran’s Day,” two Vietnam War vets (Ian Keith and Raven) are dragged back into an unwelcome past by a mysterious stranger (Patti Quintero).

 

Right: Nine-year-old Keira Matkins and Heather Poulson mirror each other’s movements in “Apple,” a surrealistic exploration of the search for meaning in human relationships with each other and our maker.

Audience Comments

 
 

A really fine festival -- all three plays were spectacular in their own right. I am so proud of the local talent displayed on stage, behind the scenes, and in the writing itself. Hard to believe it all comes out of li'l ol' Jefferson County! Kudos to all the playwrights, who worked so hard to see their plays come to fruition. It was a wild ride for the appreciative audience.

 

        — SR, Port Townsend

 

 

"If you think this festival is amateur work, think again. ... perhaps the strongest slate of plays this festival has seen in all of its 12 years."
        — from the P T Leader Review

 

"[A] chance to see three different stories told in three vastly different styles...all were imaginatively staged."

        — from Michael Moore, Kitsap Sun
