Concord Theatricals presents the 50th Annual Concord Theatricals Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival. Selected from over 750 submissions, the Top 30 plays are presented in four separate evenings, where they will be presented in front of a judging panel comprised of professionals representing various parts of the theatrical industry. After each evening’s sessions, the judges deliberate and choose one to three plays to move on to the Finals on Saturday.

During the Finals, we will take the Top 10 to 12 plays and split them into two afternoon sessions. The Festival staff will watch both sessions and select the Final 6 titles to be included in the Off Off Broadway Festival Plays series, which is published and licensed by Concord Theatricals.

The shows presented in the Wednesday, July 30 at 6:30pm session are:

A Middle Passage by Yide Cai (蔡逸得)

Mother's Day by Betsy Anne Huggins

Left Overs by Roni Ragone

MEETING THE FBI AGENT WHO READS MY EVERY TEXT MESSAGE AND SEDUCING HIM BECAUSE HE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO TRULY KNOWS ME: A ROMANTIC TRAGEDY IN THREE PARTS by Claire Greising

The Top 30 plays will be presented as staged readings at The Lynn F. Angelson Theater from July 29 to August 1 and the advancing finalists will perform on August 2.
