Faust Fest

losing your soul today: six plays

The most ambitious project of Collide’s season is the FaustFest. It’s an evening of very short plays loosely based on the idea behind Goethe’s epic Faust—losing your soul. The new works address what that means today. Some of the work has been developed in Collide’s writers’ workshop, Pack of Writers (POW!), coordinated since June 2004 by Collide member Laurie Scott. Script submissions are still arriving at Collide and though we don’t yet know what they’re about, they will be worth the wait! One evening’s proceeds will benefit Theatreport.com, Houston’s online theatre resource and a beloved haunt of many local artists.
