Be Bold! Productions has announced the Week One winner of the 14th annual Players Theatre Short Play Festival – NYC, which opened last weekend in the West Village. Each year, the festival presents a rotating lineup of 15-minute original works exploring life in New York City across three weekends in June.
The audience-selected winner for Week One was “Dust to Dust”, written by Gabrielle Perez and directed by Cecilia Bracey. Set aboard the Staten Island Ferry, the play follows a mother (Patricia M. Lawrence) and daughter (Monica Motta) as they attempt to scatter a loved one’s ashes—illegally. As they confront grief, guilt, and the fear of getting caught, the story balances dark comedy and emotional honesty.
The lineup also included four additional NYC-set shorts:
“The Gentleman’s a Tramp”
“The Unrequited train”
“Soaked”
“Central Park Teaser”
The Short Play Festival continues this weekend with Week Two performances running June 12–14 at 7PM and June 15 at 3PM. Five new NYC-themed plays will debut:
4AM at WOHOP by Christopher Zaczek
A Girl in a Long Coat by Mavish Khan
Dear Diary by Kevin Cheng
Minnesota Nice by Riley Fee
Touch Me With Your Naked Hand by Sally Deering
All performances take place at The Players Theatre, 115 MacDougal Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY
