Per TOsketchfest Executive Director, Paul Snepsts, “Omicron derailed our live festival’s pre-production period, but having produced a kick ass online festival in 2021 our team was well-positioned to bring audiences an exciting second Screen Time Edition of TOsketchfest.” “Each of these works is its own hilarious victory over this pandemic. That’s something we need to celebrate.” Agreed! You can get more info about the entire lineup and passes below. Don’t miss out!
