369 Monologue and Short Play Festival pt. 3: Hell and High Water written by A Curated Selection of Emerging Playwrights
Prepare to be electrified! Against all odds, Different Strokes! Performing Arts Collective has defied expectations for two years running. Now, they’re unleashing the thunderous return of 369 Monologue and Short Play Festival, with part 3: Hell and High Water!
Forget the doubters. This isn’t just a festival; it’s a theatrical explosion! Brace yourselves for fifteen raw, heart-stopping, side-splitting, tear-jerking, and mind-bending original plays. Stephanie Hickling Beckman declares, “New plays are the lifeblood of artistic innovation and activism! We’re igniting the stage with fresh perspectives and shattering theatrical boundaries with titles like Apocalypse Road Trip, Possible Future Felon, and Reap The Reparations: Blackest of The Day. Don’t just witness theatre, be a part of a revolution!
Thirteen fearless actors, six visionary directors, and fifteen searing stories ripped from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and the tempestuous socio-political currents of our world contribute to nine full evenings, one explosive afternoon, and three unforgettable weekends of theatre.
Want the ultimate experience? Snag the 3 Package Deal and immerse yourself in all fifteen masterpieces! Choose your adventure: a single weekend marathon or a thrilling, week-by-week journey (Thursday, Friday, Saturday). And the best part? No frantic map-reading, or wrong-venue mishaps. All the magic unfolds in one electrifying space!
Please be sure to join us on Sunday, May 18th at 3 pm for “The Best Of 369”, an afternoon composed of audience favorites from this season’s performances! Audiences will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites following each evening’s performances. We are excited to introduce our 2025 cast: Kristi DeVille (director), Mikaela Futrell (director), Kirby Gibson, *Chesney Goodson, Meg Hale-Brunton, *Zak Hamrick, Daniel Henry (actor, director), Stephanie Hickling Beckman (director), *Lucien Hinton, Alex McPherson, Rodney Smith (actor,director), Sharvis Smith, *Mikhale Sherrill, *River Spade, Aaron Snook (director), Simone Roos Snook
