32nd Playwrights’ Forum Festival Since 1983, regional playwrights have come together to showcase their original one-acts and discuss the world of theater at this annual festival hosted by Spokane Civic Theatre. To kick off the fun, there’s a panel covering the ins and outs of the artform, including the business side of playwriting, the joys and challenges of working with playwrights from the director’s perspective, and how to navigate the world of theater in Eastern Washington. There’s also a presentation from this year’s keynotes, Bryan and Trish Harnetiaux, during which the Dramatist Guild members discuss how to find your own path in the playwright world. Two sets of one-act plays are staged on an alternating schedule over the course of four days, featuring a total of 11 different performances.
