Elemental’s fourth annual original play festival
The writing challenge this year was for each playwright to create a play using elements of the Catholic Sacraments, and to set the plays in a shared location. The playwrights each drew two of the seven Sacraments out of a hat, leaving one as a wild card; from another hat, they drew the location. The result: three plays, set in a remote cabin, using Baptism, Confirmation, Communion, Holy Orders, Matrimony, Reconciliation, and the Annointing of the Sick as their jumping off point.
