"[Brown Couch's ten-minute play festival is] an important one that gives a much-needed public platform for playwright's voices."
- Fabrizio O. Almedida, New City Times
Our third festival focused on the theme of "superstition." It was also the first year to feature a curtain scene, Scream, featuring Allison Moody and the creepy voice of Mark Pracht.
