Vignette Fest 2026 🎭

Join us for the first ever Vignette Fest, hosted at Painting with a Purpose and organized and co-hosted by Molly Britland!

This is a one-act festival with three separately plays.

The plays are as follows:

'A Device’s Desire' by Abhisek Bhattacharya

Directed by Roo Sultan

SYNOPSIS:

While investigating why a new refrigerator is malfunctioning, a

severely overworked and exploited mechanic establishes an

instant connection with the broken refrigerator, which calls

itself Fridge. As the mechanic examines Fridge, he realizes that

Fridge is not the only broken thing that needs fixing. Both

individuals, a human and a device, decide to confront their

lives and change the situation they find themselves in.

'Periot' written by Allison Whittenberg

Directed by Nic Mitchell

synopsis: Jonah’s spent years protecting Solly from (stepfather's) Nick’s abuse. But after one brutal night too many, Jonah makes an impossible decision: to kill. This play is loosely based on the 2024 novel KILLING THE FATHER OF OUR COUNTRY.

'the wedding Party' written by Kramer Hardman

Directed by Jade Harper

The dance floor is closed. The newlyweds have left. Who’s cleaning up? 

Three members of a wedding party are stuck cleaning the venue after the bride and groom forgot to book a cleaning service. While they frantically sort through liquor bottles, bags of food, and floral arrangements, all three discover their feelings about the newlyweds can’t be boxed up quite as neatly. 

Your ticket covers a viewing of all 3 plays, and there will be concessions sold separately. We thank everyone for their hard work in making this festival possible. We hope to see you there!
