Phillips Festival 2026 & Green Carpet Pre-Show
JOIN US! 6:00 - 7:15 p.m. for the Green Carpet Pre-Show as the Phillips Festival returns for 10th year.
Celebrate 10 Years of The Leslie Phillips Festival
Join us as we celebrate 10 years of The Leslie Phillips Festival — a 24-hour theatrical marathon like no other! This milestone year, we're inviting the whole HCC community to be part of something unforgettable, with proceeds benefiting the Leslie Phillips Fund for Arts and Education at Holyoke Community College.
The annual Phillips Festival returns with an evening of short plays written, directed, and staged in just 24 hours. Writers craft original one-act plays on Friday night. Directors and actors bring them to life on Saturday, culminating in a live performance featuring incredible work by HCC alumni, students, staff, and friends.
Walk the Green Carpet
Before the curtain rises, join us for our Green Carpet Pre-Show — our version of a red carpet event. Reconnect with alumni and friends, grab some theater concessions, pose for the paparazzi at our photo wall, and soak in the excitement before the show begins.
