Chapel Theatre Play Festival

Chapel Theatre is a small theatre with simple goals: Bring together community, advance local artists, and engage the public in the arts. Milwaukie doesn’t have a lot of live performance available year round; Chapel Theatre offers ongoing artistic engagement for people in Milwaukie and beyond. This play festival works with artists to produce their work, practice performing on stage, direct for the first time, or meet others in the industry they may want to work with in the future. The audience has the opportunity to see new work, meet new artists, and travel to Milwaukie to see these productions. This play festival showcases writers and their short plays by matching them up with local directors and actors to carry out their work. Playwrights submit their short plays to be considered while local directors and actors audition to take part in the festival. Chapel Theatre Co connects the plays with actors and directors and allows two weeks to rehearse before presenting the finished product.
