BE A PART OF THE LOOP!
Aggregate Collective, a theatre company using a value set of radical hospitality and shared learning to guide programming and operations announces a unique theatre festival that focuses on the development of new plays crafted specifically for young adults written by professional playwrights from around the country. In this inaugural year, all of the selected playwrights came via a collaboration with Uproar Theatrics, a new theatrical licensing company dedicated to providing quality plays and musicals for producing organizations of all levels.
The Loop Festival will take place on Thursday, August 15, 2024. It is a day-long staged reading presentation of three different plays that are written in the genre of Young Adult Theatre. Young Adult Theatre includes plays that tell stories relevant to young adults and written for young adult actors to perform. After each presentation, the audience participates in a facilitated discussion and acts as responders to play. These responses may inform how the playwright adapts the play in the future.
Twenty five young adult actors from all around Southern Oregon will be participating in a three day development process prior to the presentation. In this process leading up to the reading, the young adult actors act as cultural consultants for the playwrights and provide insight and responses to the authenticity of the writing. The rehearsals and the presentation will take place at The Hivve, a multimedia performance venue in downtown Grants Pass.
