Horizon Youth Theatre’s Festival of Shorts will take place this weekend at Otsego Elementary School. Each performance will feature four one-acts, with six different shows being featured over the course of the weekend. Five of the one-acts were written by students; the sixth was created by our Devising Class under the direction of Keith Guion.
Cassie Greenlee oversaw the mentoring program with our student writers last fall. In all, ten scripts were submitted for consideration, with the top five being performed this weekend. Ms. Greenlee also oversaw our directing workshop this winter. Those five student shows are being directed by high school students in HYT.
Performances are April 13 and 14 at 7 p.m.and April 15 at 2 p.m. Admission is by donation at the door.
We are pleased to thank the Wood County Historical Center and Museum for the season sponsorship of HYT. The Bowling Green Community Foundation provided significant financial support for both the Winter Workshops and the 2018 Festival of Shorts. Additional thanks to the families of all our students, Woodland Mall, First Presbyterian Church of Bowling Green, St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, First Baptist Church, The Vineyard Church, Otsego Elementary SChool, and the Toledo School for the Arts for rehearsal spaces and other support.
