Feast 2007

We are sad to announce that we were unsuccessful in our attempts to gain funding for the Feast 2007. We hope to offer it in 2008, and will continue with the Playhouse on Sunday and a workshops series in 2007, so please send your scripts in and keep watching this site for information. We also plan to run the Forum again in May 2008.
