The annual ANPF Fall Festival is an opportunity for playwrights to workshop their scripts with professional actors and directors, often for the first time. It is also a chance to connect with audience members during talk-backs following each reading, where patrons can share their thoughts directly with the artists to help continue the growth of their work.
These talk-backs are led by ANPF’s Host Playwrights.

This year's winning plays are The Caelumids by DJ Hills, Netta and Ru by Lisa Langford, persian girl play by Ida Esmaeli, and Threshold by Stephanie Fybel.

Come be a part of the creative process as these new plays come to life through the magic of a dramatic reading. Be sure to stay for the talkbacks and share your insights with the artists.

Don’t miss this macabre, immersive dance theater experience inspired by the tantalizing dark romances and poetry of Victorian literary genius Edgar Allan Poe. This production reimagines Poe’s most haunting, brilliant, and disturbing works: The Raven, Annabel Lee, Fall of the House of Usher, Cask of Amontillado, and Masque of the Red Death—like you’ve never experienced before.

An electrifying blend of encounters, compelling live music, and chilling surprises. Featuring the international artists of Ballet Fantastique in decadent original choreography by Donna Marisa and Hannah Bontrager.

Medford, OR – The Historic Holly Theatre welcomes four-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer, composer, and actor Lyle Lovett and his Small Large Band on Sunday, October 25, 2026, bringing an unforgettable evening of music, storytelling, and Texas-sized artistry to downtown Medford.
A singer, composer, and actor, Lovett has broadened the definition of American music across a career spanning 14 albums.

Lovett’s live performances showcase the breadth of his deep talents and the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivating musicians in popular music. Since his self-titled debut in 1986, he has evolved into one of music’s most vibrant and iconic performers.

Among his many accolades, Lovett has earned four GRAMMY Awards, received the Americana Music Association’s inaugural Trailblazer Award, and was named Texas State Musician. His rich and eclectic body of work remains some of the most beloved of any artist working today.
