Fun Fast Feb Fest 2020
A short-play festival involving 12 works in competition for a grand prize. The only judge? The Audience!
TeamTheatre served as producers and co-artists to generate 3 nights of fun, fast theatre, housed at the Greek Cultural Center in Astoria.
The twelve plays of the Fun Fast Feb Fest were a melting pot of serious and comedic pieces that explore the whole spectrum of human experience from friendship to social anxiety, from cultural differences to relationships, from gender to love, to loss, to how to split the check at dinner!
All 10-minutes plays were written, directed, produced and acted by people from all over the world (USA, Greece, Italy, Philippines, Korea, England, Puerto Rico, Germany, Cyprus, Lebanon, Australia).
