Edmonds Driftwood Players 11th Annual Festival of Shorts

Join the Edmonds Driftwood Players for their 11th Annual Festival of Shorts, postponed from last season. 

These shows have been selected from submissions from around the globe and have never before been produced for an audience. 

Past winners have later been developed into full-length award winning plays! 

Each performance includes eight short plays that include multiple directors and casts. 

Come to be a part of EDP’s annual festival where the audience votes for a favorite at each performance from among the eight finalists. 

The playwrights submitted scripts with the theme, “What Would You Do?” 

This theme explores ethical dilemmas and decision-making in everyday life, with both the comedic and dramatic consequences of our decisions.

The eight Shorts that will be performed are 

1. Windfall by James Pfrehm (directed by Jonathan C. Olson), 
2. Whole New World by Karla M. Sorenson (directed by Martin Mackenzie), 
3. The Price to Pay by Elena Naskova (directed by Dawn Cornell), 
4. Seeing the Light by Jeff Dunne (directed by Thomas A. Glass), 
5. Losing Tucker by Paul Lewis (directed by David F. White), 
6. Like Jason by Maripat Allen (directed by Eric Bischoff), Why by Chris Widney (directed by Mark Velednitsky), and 
7. The Good War by Brent Stainer (directed by Laura Crouch).

The design team includes Nancy Johnson (Properties Designer), Brent Stainer and Cami Taliaferro-Barber (Lighting Designers), Daniel Hanlon (Sound Designer), and Melina Boivin and Faye Mattingley (Costume Designers). Katie Soulé and Brian Fletcher are Production Managers, and Diane Jamieson and Sean Morrone are Stage Managers.

WHEN: June 24-July 3, 2022 - Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm.
