Phillips Festival 2025

The Phillips Festival, a unique theatrical event celebrating creativity and collaboration, will take place on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 7:30 PM. This one-
of-a-kind festival challenges local artists to write, direct, and stage brand-new one-act plays in just 24 hours. The event honors the legacy of Leslie Phillips, the founding head of Holyoke Community College's (HCC) Theater Department. All proceeds from the festival benefit the LESLIE PHILLIPS FUND FOR ARTS AND EDUCATION at HCC, which directly supports arts experiences for students and the wider community.
