Short Plays. Why go?

There are several reasons why audiences should attend a short play festival:

  1. Variety: Short play festivals typically feature multiple plays, each with its own unique storyline, characters, and themes. This provides audiences with a diverse range of entertainment and allows them to experience different styles and genres of theater.

  2. Time commitment: Short play festivals are a great way to enjoy live theater without committing to a full-length play or musical. Each play usually lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, making it easier to fit into a busy schedule.

  3. Exposure to new talent: Short play festivals often showcase up-and-coming playwrights, directors, and actors. Attending these festivals can provide audiences with a glimpse of emerging talent in the theater world.

  4. Affordable: Compared to full-length productions, tickets to short play festivals are often more affordable. This makes it a great option for those who want to experience live theater without breaking the bank.

  5. Community: Short play festivals are often hosted by local theaters and theater organizations, which helps to build and support the local arts community. Attending these festivals can be a great way to connect with other theater enthusiasts and support local artists.
