Please join us for our 15th Annual Festival of Shorts! The festival this year will be presented in five performances June 25-28, 2026, featuring eight shorts finalists that include eight directors and eight casts. The theme for 2026 is “MILESTONES: markers in time of significant achievements or events.” 

Our volunteer readers and judges are local Seattle-area theatre lovers and playwrights. To keep the process as fair as possible, our readers are 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.

Content Warning: This production contains some mild adult themes and is best suited for ages teen+

Run Time: Approximately 2 hours, plus a 15-minute intermission
