The Spartan Theatre at Spokane Falls Community College proudly announces our Second Annual Festival One Page Plays: Haunting Holidays!

We are seeking submissions from playwrights across the globe to be presented in a reader’s theatre format. Selected plays will be performed live at SFCC’s Spartan Theatre on Friday, December 5, 2025, at 7:30 PM.

Last year’s festival received over 100 submissions from playwrights all over the world, making it a truly global celebration of creativity. We are excited to build on that momentum and see how playwrights will haunt the holidays this year!

What We’re Looking For

We want one-page plays that creatively explore the theme Haunting Holidays. Whether it’s a ghostly gathering at a festive dinner, a spooky twist on a traditional celebration, or a chilling winter tale, we encourage all kinds of imaginative interpretations.

All holidays are welcome: New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Arbor Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, April Fools, Cinco de Mayo, or any other day of cultural or personal significance you’d like to haunt with your imagination.

Here’s a fun challenge: bonus points for including Bigfoot! Why Bigfoot? Because Bigfoot is the mascot of Spokane Falls Community College, and we’d love to see this legendary cryptid make an appearance in our festive and eerie festival.
