"Good for theater" - NY Times"Better than SNL" - SF Weekly"A knock-out success" - East Bay Express
Each of the first eight weeks of competition are Regular Season Rounds, featuring six short plays per week, that range from dramatic plays, comedic sketches, devised work, musicals, movement-based pieces or solo acts.
Lineups will be annouced soon.
The audience scores each piece and the piece that scores highest in each round clinches a spot in the Finals (August 21-25). Of the eight total plays in the Finals, the team that scores the highest will win the Finals and the $5,000 Grand Prize.
48 plays by hundreds of artists over 9 weeks scored by audiences to crown 1 champion and the winner of $5,000. Get local. Get arty. LiveShort.
