During the last week in June, the International Thespian Festival takes place in Lincoln, Nebraska. Participants are able to meet playwrights, see shows from 10 AM- 10PM, go to nightly dances, attend workshops, stay on a college campus, and more.

In 2004, Megan Barnett, Marcus Mann, Kristina Krull, Silas Berkowitz, Bobby Brace and Julia Steincross went and performed the one-act play Rapunzel Uncut. The year before that, Matt Sexter and Kate Ritterspach attended the festival. Visit www.edta.org for more information.
