Manhattan Rep's SHORT PLAY PROJECT Spring 2018

web site

It is always hard to find a place to showcase your longer short play (26 - 50 minutes.)  Many short play events only accept plays up to 20 minutes, and the few ones that host longer short plays book up fast. So what do you do with your longer short play?

Manhattan Rep's SHORT PLAY PROJECT may be the answer for you

We supply the technician for lights and sound.  We supply the poster and the ticketing pages. We curate, organize and orchestrate the program with 1 or 2 other longer short plays (26-50 minutes.) And we supply our beautiful new theatre space on West 45th St. right in the middle of the of Broadway and more!

Manhattan Rep's SHORT PLAY PROJECT is created to showcase your longer short plays (26-50 minutes) in the heart of the theatrical capital of the world:
