Right, so it’s Monday and in four days OneFest 2014 will be here. How exciting!

After months of preparation, countless rehearsals across all 14 plays, a few tech runs and possibly some pre show nerves we’re nearing curtain up.

Pre-season ticket sales have exceeded last year’s so get in and book through centertainment. We’re sure there’ll be tickets available at the door, but, we’re trying to plug the festival as much as possible.

See you in a few days!
