Adventure Seeks Personal Stories With A Second Playwriting Festival

Adventure Theatre MTC, Convergence Theatre and 4615 Theatre Company invite playwrights, devisers, and theatre makers to DMV QFEST 2.0.

As theatre artists continue to seek ways to share their work in new platforms, these organizations hope to provide that platform to speak one's truth. For this edition of DMV QFEST, we are committed to defining this space for BIPOC artists from the DMV, who have worked in the DMV, or feel connected to the DMV. Our thanks in advance to all for taking note.

Theme: In this festival of work, the source of inspiration is simply your voice. Your unique vision, aesthetic, and experience should serve as the foundation. While this does not require anyone needing to share personal experiences, we do ask that all playwrights create narratives that represent their voice and not anyone else's story. Speak from your truth.
