Feature: THE 42ND WILLIAM INGE THEATRE FESTIVAL at The William Inge Center For The Arts At Independence Community College, Independence KS
by Paula Makar - Apr 24, 2025

It’s a shame that this is my first time attending the William Inge Theatre Festival at Independence Community College in Independence, KS. This Festival has hosted some top notch playwrights over the years, with recent featured playwrights including Lauren Gunderson, Lynn Nottage, and Paula Vogel. This is the 42nd year of the Festival, which celebrates the legacy of the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright William Inge, a native of Independence, KS. It is also the official theatre festival of the state of Kansas. The event is not only a retreat for playwrights, but for any theatre practitioner who is looking for an inspirational and communal experience in a relaxing and welcoming environment. It is safe to say I will be attending next year, and if you are interested in the future of theatre, you should, too!
