2011 One Act Festival

web site

For 20 years, the Attic Theatre’s One-Act Festival has provided playwrights with the unique opportunity to see their work leap from page to stage, with the help of some of L.A.’s finest theatre & film professionals.  Out of the hundreds of entries submitted to the Festival, between three and six of the strongest contenders will be selected to receive productions in the 2011 ONE-ACT FESTIVAL. A panel of judges selected by the artistic staff of the Attic Theatre Ensemble will choose the two best plays of the festival. The first place winner will receive $300.00 and the second place winner will receive $150.00 in prize money. Additional plays may receive Honorable Mention at the judge’s discretion.

2012 THEME:  LINES IN THE SAND

The world is full of human-made divisions: gender, economic, political, religious, sexual to name a few.  This year we are looking for plays that explore these lines in the sand.

What divides us?

What keeps us together?

What happens when we cross those lines?
