Short Play Festival - NYC

COVID-19 UPDATE:

The 10th Annual June Festival – NYC

Like the New Yorkers we are, we remain determined and vigilant.
Therefore, although we won’t be able to host SPF-NYC as planned, the show must go on!
 
We will be hosting live readings of the 15 selected plays
via Facebook Live (@beboldproductions) in July 2020.
 
Stay tuned for more info!
NYC is at the center of it all right now but unfortunately, this time it’s not in the
best of circumstances. However, New Yorkers remain
gritty, loyal, and apologetically themselves.
We at SPF are eager to get back to our normal routines and are beyond hopeful that we can continue with our SPF-NYC June festival as planned. However, we have some backup plans in place should we have to postpone or cancel the festival.
If, for whatever reason, we are unable to proceed in June, we will work with The Players Theatre and hopefully find an alternate slot for the festival in either July or August.
If that is not possible either, we will host a virtual reading of all 15 selected plays.Regardless, ALL 15 plays selected for the festival will automatically earn
right first of refusal to participate in the June 2021 festival.
So really, you’ve got nothing else to lose, right? Just WRITE!
