April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks “Go”.

Rehearsals for the Spring Productions are in full swing, with cast members striving to get “off book” and getting in and out of character at all times of day and night.

FEST has moved!

…no, not to Berlin (making it BEST) or Paris (PEST), but merely to the west of Frankfurt. On Saturday 16th , a squadron of FESTers woke up at an early hour to travel through the countryside collecting props, costumes and other stage equipment from various places and brought them to our new storage facility near Frankfurt.

FEST’s 35th Anniversary

FEST plans to celebrate its 35th Anniversary during the autumn of 2012. We are looking for volunteers to form a small team to come up with ways of marking this occasion. Is there a theatrical project that you feel would be appropriate to celebrate FEST as it enters its mid-thirties?

Please contact Jeff Book or Patrick O'Sullivan, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it   to volunteer.

Workshops? Play Readings? Suggestions?

The FEST committee needs input from you, the membership, about activities that you would like to take part in over the next year. To that end, you will receive a survey from us shortly. We would be grateful if you would take some time to fill it out and return it to us. We need your input to decide the direction in which you want to take the organisation.

Full-Length Play November 2011
