Durango PlayFest is a week-long play development festival that provides a collaborative environment for playwrights to develop new work with professional actors and directors, culminating in thought-provoking play readings and Q&As that engage audiences in this creative process
Airfare is one of our largest budget items -- and determines how many playwrights and plays we can feature at our 7th annual festival, June 25-29, 2025.
Your donation of United MileagePlus miles can save PlayFest thousands of dollars -- this makes a significant difference to a small nonprofit like ours. Last year's miles donations equaled almost $9,000 toward flights.
Thank you for promoting the theatre arts in rural Southwest Colorado!
Durango PlayFest is a week-long play development festival that brings affordable, world-class theatre to a predominantly rural region of Southwest Colorado, while providing meaningful employment for students and community members, and hosting a variety of educational opportunities for the public. PlayFest attracts well-known actors, playwrights and directors to Durango to workshop new plays, hold free events for the community, and engage audiences with staged readings. Audiences have a window into the creative process, and interact with professionals during post-reading Q&A sessions and other events. PlayFest is committed to educational opportunities through its successful internship program and the recently launched REAL-WORLD THEATRE speaker series for youth.
