THE ACRONYM PLAYS

Saturday, March 5, 2022: 3:30pm
Sunday, March 6: 1:00pm & 3:30pm

THE ACRONYM PLAYS celebrates selected winners of our publication challenge held at the height of the pandemic. From the safety of their homes, 175 playwrights submitted new plays using one or more acronyms in the body of their 10-minute script, or were inspired by an acronym that served as the springboard for their play. Of these scripts, 34 plays were chosen for publication. Six plays were selected for a live staged reading at Urban Stages. Come join us at the theater!
