    Yakima Valley College’s Playmasters presents its 2026 New Works and One-Act Festival, featuring six original short plays written and directed by YVC students. Each night will also feature a performance of “Sure Thing,” written by David Ives and presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatist Play Service. The March 5th performance only will also include a performance of Ives’ “The Mystery at Twicknam Vicarage.”
    Performances will be held March 5th - 7th at 7:30pm in YVC’s Kendall Hall, Building #12, Black Box Theatre. Admission is $10 for the general public or $5 for students, and tickets must be purchased in advance online due to limited seating.

    The plays may not be suitable for children. YVC’s Black Box Theatre offers an intimate audience experience, with seating for 40. For more information about the New Works Festival contact Alicia Bickley at abickley@yvcc.edu or Ray Pritchard at rpritchard@yvcc.edu

    March 5 Performances:
    “Sunsets and Dawns,” written by Kaleb Wallberg and directed by Micah Jones, is the story of twin siblings as they attend college and prepare for adult life away from each other.
    “The Mystery at Twicknam Vicarage,” written by Ives and directed by Andrew Saenz, is a short parody play that lampoons British murder mysteries like Sherlock Holmes and Masterpiece Theatre.

    March 6 Performances:
    “Center Stage Center Gaze,” written Kaleb Wallberg and directed by Chloe Dowd, is a dramatic one-act play about a young high school student named Eli who is trapped in a metaphorical and literal circle of insecurity.
    “7 Menus,” written by Steven Dietz and directed by Marley Goodwin, is a comedy depicting the changing lives of an eccentric group of friends and their relationship over time — all while interacting at the same restaurant.
    “The House that Sighs,” written by Sabbath Nunez and directed by Riley Durham, is a metaphorical play depicting the toxic relationship between Lena and David, and how the house around them begins to collapse on itself as the relationship grows more harmful.

    March 7 Performances:
    “Goodnight, Moon,” written by Chloe Dowd and directed by Kaleb Walberg, follows Cecilia, who awakes to find herself inside the children’s book “Goodnight Moon.” With the help of three bears and a cow jumping over the moon, she must find a way to escape this fairytale — or risk never seeing a happily-ever-after.
    “Intra Somnium,” written by Chloe Dowd and directed by Sabbath Nunez, tells the story of Ashlyn, a young high school girl preparing to transition into adulthood. With so many choices before her, she must decide whether her dreams will guide her — or become her nightmare.
