"WinterFest is an amazing opportunity to watch shows directed by your friends fully realized on stage!” said Autri Basu ’23, head of WinterFest. “It's a fun night of both comedy and drama, and with the intimate nature of the Black Box, you'll get to experience theater up close and personal."

Kirby Arts Center Technical Director Jamie Cuthrell, WinterFest faculty advisor, is especially excited about the two original plays, “Chai” by Anoushka Sharma ’23 and “Love is Knocking on Your Door” by Fourth Formers Adrian and Sofia Carlisi. “WinterFest presents the perfect opportunity for student playwrights to work on their craft, test out ideas, and experience learning at it’s finest in the performing arts,” he said.
