Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.

"WON"
Written, Directed and Performed by Leo Schaff

Joe has a lot of love to give, however misdirected it may be - people, cartoon characters, inanimate objects. Musical hilarity ensues as he recounts stories from his search for "it."
