48 Hours to Create Art on Stage!

  Looking for a theatre project for the summer that won’t eat up too much of the precious sunny days? We’ve got you covered! Presenting Red Curtain’s 1st Annual 48-Hour PlayFest!

This event runs Friday, July 11-Sunday, July 13, and is sure to be a chaotically good time! Participants will gather at the Red Curtain Arts Center (9315 State Ave #J, Marysville) on Friday at 7pm for the kickoff celebration where teams will be formed and guidelines for the event will be distributed.
