Please join us for our 14th Annual Festival of Shorts! The festival this year will be presented in five performances June 26-29, 2025, featuring 8 shorts finalists that include 8 directors and 8 casts. The theme for 2025 is “CROSSROADS: a choice or event that changed courses.” We received 635 script submissions for this year’s festival, and the finalists were selected from submissions from around the globe.
Our volunteer readers and judges are local Seattle-area theatre lovers and playwrights. To keep the process as fair as possible, our readers were given blind copies of script submissions for judging. Our annual playwriting festival provides an opportunity for playwrights to have their works brought to life on stage, as well as gain recognition and potential awards. After the closing performance, we will announce the playwright winners for: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place Judges’ Awards and Overall Audience Favorite.
