The festival lasts three weeks, February 12-28, 2021. Each play will perform one weekend – Friday (7:00pm), Saturday (7:00pm), and Sunday (3:00pm). Each play will also be required to attend a tech rehearsal on the Thursday evening prior to their opening night.

Submissions close: December 18, 2020 at 11:59pm

COVID UPDATE: Ideally, we will be able to run the festival as planned with a live audience present in the theatre. Audience members will likely be required to wear masks and your cast members are also welcome to perform with masks if that makes them more comfortable. However, pending restrictions on gatherings and audiences in the theatre, at a bare minimum we will live-stream the festival from the theatre to a paying audience watching at home. Therefore, your cast must be comfortable performing your play in person at the theatre in NYC.
