** PLAYFEST 2026 **

(June 26th - June 28th)

We are kicking off our week with announcing the line-up for PlayFest 2026. Since its inception, PlayFest has served as a launch pad for local and out of town playwrights to bring life to their works right here on the Gilbert Theater stage.

This year we have shifted our performances to June 26th, 27th, and 28th. Admission is a suggested donation of $10.00.

Come out and support these amazing 10-minute plays.

The Gilbert Theater would love to thank the Arts Council of Fayetteville and the North Carolina Arts Council for their continues support.
