PLAN YOUR EXPERIENCE! JUL 10 – AUG 2 2015 Dear Festival Guest, WELCOME! Use these pages to help you plan your visit to the Contemporary American Theater Festival. Your destination experience begins in the historic village of Shepherdstown, West Virginia located on the banks of the Potomac River. Our Festival is a home for a community of “creatives” telling pioneering stories with an insatiable appetite for adventure and compelling vision. The Festival Experience isn’t all about being inside. Explore charming downtown Shepherdstown, the historic battlefields nearby, or take a bike ride along the C&O Canal. Don’t miss out on the fantastic shopping or the rustic charm of this village so close to the city. All of that activity is bound to work up an appetite! Eat, replenish, and prepare for the conversations to come. Enjoy our restaurants, bistros, cafes, and pubs, where you will have the opportunity to meet with our theater artists and Festival patrons for stimulating conversations and build lasting relationships of your own. CATF and Shepherdstown are a workout for the mind and a getaway for the body. So, rest up at one of our hotels or quaint B&Bs.

Remember to bring this “working guide book” with you when you come to Shepherdstown! 2 25TH SEASON: JULY 10 - AUGUST 2, 2015 5 PLAYS/ONE ULTIMATE FESTIVAL Time to build YOUR ultimate theater festival experience! On the following pages, you’ll find our schedule and our order form. Take a minute to refer back to the PLAY GUIDE for descriptions of the plays and biographies of the playwrights. PURCHASING A 4- or 5-SHOW REP PASS GETS YOU THE “TOTAL” EXPERIENCE BUT . . . DID YOU KNOW? You can purchase a Sunday 4 Pass and see one show every Sunday evening and spread your experience out over the entire month of July. Plan a lovely dinner prior to the show and hear the “scoop” from other patrons about the play you are about to see. You can see three plays in one day if you are truly adventurous and curious. See World Builders at noon in Studio 112. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the theater atmosphere in the Copper Canyon. See a 2:30 show and have a quick dinner downtown before you see your third show at 8:00 or 8:30. In between shows, you are sure to hear plenty of bold dialogue among the other patrons spending the day at CATF. You could attend a FREE reading on a Tuesday evening allowing you to see a play that is in development; spend the night at a local establishment and then see one, two or three plays on Wednesday before the weekend experience begins.
