We will be producing program booklets for free distribution before the festival opens. In order to make this work, we will need your program details quite early on.
This includes: play title, writer credit, director credit, company name (if applicable to ITCs), cast list, and a short 2-sentence blurb (max 50 words). We may have some or all of these details already, but this is your chance to re-word how they appear in the program and in other publicity materials.
Play submissions are closed for Short & Sweet Hollywood 2017 so now we need a treasure trove of amazing actors and directors to bring these pieces to life!
We would like to congratulate all the winners of the recently concluded Short + Sweet Theatre Festival Manila 2017!
