ISBN 978-0-573-70020-0 Various Authors One of Manhattan’s most established play festivals, the Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival fosters the work of emerging writers, giving them the exposure of publication and representation. The festival resulting in this collection was held July 19th-24th, 2011 at Theatre Row on 42nd Street in New York City.
From the initial pool of over 850 submissions, the Final Forty plays were chosen to be performed over a period of one week. A panel of judges comprised of celebrity playwrights, theatrical agents and artistic directors
nominated one or more of each evening’s plays as finalists. The final round was then held on the last day of the festival. Out of these plays, six winners listed below were chosen by Samuel French, Inc. to receive
publication and licensing contracts. Winning plays and
playwrights for this collection include:
