Riot Act, Inc. is thrilled to present the winners of its 6th 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.

The second and third finalists will be awarded $50 each.
