The 7th Annual 15-minute Play Festival goes international
with plays from Canada and England as well as throughout the US.
April 17 – April 28 at The Studio, 145
West 46th Street, NYC.
Chosen from more than 350 entries, the 33 semi-finalist
plays in this year’s 7th Annual 15-Minute Play Festival include
original one-acts by playwrights from Toronto, Canada and London,
England as well as eleven states throughout the USA. This is the
first time that plays from outside the United States have been chosen
to compete in the festival.
Produced by Turnip Theatre Company in association
with American Globe Theatre, the annual festival runs April 17-28
and showcases the work of some our most exciting new playwrights
as well as 33 directors and 74 actors and actresses.
Four to five different semi-finalist plays are presented
each of the festival’s first eight evening’s (April 17-24)
and the audience is balloted to select the best play each night.
In addition, the festival producers choose two plays as “producer’s
choice” to include in the finals. Selected plays move on to
the finals and three additional performances (April 26-28) where
a panel of judges chooses winners in three categories: Best Play,
Best Direction and Best Performance and the audience votes for overall
Audience Favorites. Finalists are also eligible for the Alan Minieri
Playwriting Award named after Turnip Theatre Company’s late
Artistic Director.
