Queens Short Play Festival is now accepting plays for its Winter 2025 festival. The Secret Theatre seeks to promote new work and emerging playwrights through our biannual One Act Festival. Last year's festivals were a success and this year we are excited for more!

• $75 Cash Prize for Best Actor
• Each Play is guaranteed multiple performances [the exact number is decided once our final selection is made. Factors include the length of plays but is not usually less than 4 performances.
Guidelines:
• Plays must be between 10 – 15 minutes in length. Preference given to plays that have not been produced before. Timings must be accurate please overestimate if not sure. We will reject any play longer than 15 mins. A rule of thumb is one minute per page if using 12pt Courier/Times Roman
• Playwrights are responsible for selecting the director and cast.
(We may be able to help you if you do not have a director but preference will be given to playwrights who can provide their own directors and actors.)
• Easy to produce. (If you have a play which for instance includes a swimming pool, a large amount of sets and props, or anything else too elaborate or is impossible to cast we may reject it.)
• Excerpts limited to 15 mins are acceptable
• Please submit plays in PDF or Word format only.
• We will divide selected plays into more programs, and selected Playwrights will be informed on a rolling basis.
• We offer discounted rates for rehearsals from $10 per hour for participants
