Exciting news! Our amazing friends at Bonn Place Brewing are hosting a generous fundraiser, happening THIS Saturday! Stop by Bonn from 12noon to 11pm for a pint, and they will donate $1 to our "Write the Future" campaign. AND since it's a match campaign, that means every $1 donation becomes a $2 donation! We are so grateful for Bonn's long-time support of our work, and hope the Touchstone community will show up on May 17th to support a fantastic local business AND our arts education work  - all at the same time!

Our 20TH ANNUAL YOUNG PLAYWRIGHTS’ FESTIVAL promises to be out of this world! Sunday, May 18 @ 3pm The Northeast Middle School Theatre Tickets: $15 Join us THIS SUNDAY for a family-friendly afternoon of original short plays written by some of the best storytellers we know: our local students! Over 120 plays were submitted by this year’s Young Playwrights...but just four exceptional scripts were chosen as Finalists! They'll be fully-staged at the Festival, along with two partially-produced Semi-Finalists, and six Runners-Up with a brief scene performed live. This year’s plays are directed by Touchstone artists and guest director Amy Putlock (Broughal Middle School), and performed by Touchstone actors, community performers, and students from area schools. You're sure to see someone you know onstage! For more info, and to purchase tickets, go to: touchstone.org (fb)
