For the first time ever, our hugely popular One Act Weekend expands to a two-weekend festival!
Audiences will experience an eclectic mix of short plays never-before produced in Florida, featuring comedy, drama, and everything in between!
In addition to thrilling sell-out crowds, this exciting event provides playwrights with an opportunity to see their work produced and provides emerging directors with experience under the guidance of seasoned mentors.
The first weekend features short plays written, directed and performed by adults, and the second weekend features short plays written, directed and performed by teens.
