The 2025 Stage Struck! One Act Play Festival is a month away!! Join us April 11 & 12 at Gateway Theatre (home of Workshop West Playwrights' Theatre) for a weekend of dynamic theatre, featuring nine one-act plays spanning drama, comedy, movement-based storytelling, and more.

This year’s festival features six brand-new works by local playwrights, alongside two previously produced gems. Stick around after each session for a public adjudication, and don’t miss the awards presentation with goodies on Saturday night—including Outstanding Production, Direction, Performance, Technical, and New Work.
