About
The Sandbox Play Festival has been around for 11 years now and features 5 original 10 minute plays written, directed, and acted by local artists.
The Festival began in an effort to highlight Michigan artists who may not have an outlet for their work otherwise. Now in it's tenth year, Sandbox has continued to grow, with over 100 play entries this year. Tipping Point has moved its festival from being featured at Northville's Arts and Acts to having its own week at the theatre during the month of October. Five plays will be featured that you, the audience, has the opportunity to vote on for Audience favorite.
