Minifest 2026

What is MiniFest you ask!?

WODL’s Minifest is a One-Act Theatre workshop that allows participating companies an opportunity to see how others may approach the SAME material! It is an exercise in creative individuality, a chance to learn about choices you either didn’t make or didn’t consider, a fun workshop for newbies and old-hats alike! 

This year, Thistle Theatre is hosting this fun weekend. Where is Thistle Theatre?
