Need some small bites of comedy and drama? Always a spring favorite, Shorts features new regionally written plays. Join us.
Riot Act, Inc. is thrilled to present the winners of its 5th Annual New Play Festival. Seven original works were submitted for the contest and judges ultimately selected three short plays to be produced as part of Riot Act’s Annual Series of Shorts. The first-place winner will receive $100 and the Marius P. Hanford IV Award. Marius was a longtime stage combat choreographer influential in several theater communities, including Jackson and New York. The second and third finalists will be awarded $50 each.
