Treehouse Youth Theatre set to open third annual One-Act Festival

Jun 8, 2022 | 4:14 PM

Treehouse Youth Theatre presents its One-Act Festival, from June 9-18, at the Red Deer Memorial Centre’s Nickel Studio.

The third annual event is put together entirely by participants, using what’s called the Total Theatre approach.

“Participants wrote two one-act plays, with the assistance of Artistic Director Albertus Koett and Associate Artistic Director Nicole Leal. Additionally, a movement piece was created for the festival, directed/written by one of our participants, Ryan Walsh,” a media release notes.

“Our festival will also feature improvisation, the foundations of which were taught to us by Improv Jelly, a local improv and sketch comedy troupe. The festival will feature a one-act featuring our 9-12-year-old performers, called Not Again!, and a one-act currently called Backstage Play, which was created by our 13-17-year-old participants.”

This is also the first in-person edition of the festival, with the first two years taking place virtually due to the pandemic.
