The 2025 CT Short Play Fest will be adjudicated by four artists at the forefront of new play development. With decades of experience on Broadway, Off-Broadway, in regional theatres, and abroad, these artists are shaping the future of American theatre.
On August 2, they will award distinctions across two sessions: one featuring emerging playwrights, the other established professionals, selected from over 150 submissions. Their presence underscores what this festival celebrates: the bold, joyful work of bringing new plays to life.
This is the only event of its kind: a one-day festival where audiences can discover bold new plays from both rising and established voices — all performed by the same ensemble of actors. One cast. Eleven plays. Two sessions. Don’t miss it.
