The Festival was originally conceived to be a one-time only event featuring five one-act plays written by Covi Loveridge Brannan at the Our Lady of Pompeii Theatre.
The event was presented by Italytime Cultural Center and funded by the New School University Student Senate and it featured an international team of over 20 NYC based artists.
The event premiered on the 14th of December under the name
"The HERE Festival".
