Driftwood Players announces finalists for 2017 Festival of Shorts

Edmonds Driftwood Players has announced finalists for its 8th Annual Festival of Shorts, which will be performed July 7-9.

Eight great short plays were selected from over 400 submissions from around the world. The finalists were chosen through “blind” readings by our selection committee. These never-before-produced shorts will make their debut on the stage at The Wade James Theater in Edmonds. The theme of this year’s festival is “Unintended Consequences.”

According to a Driftwood Players announcement, the selected playwrights “will exhibit their most innovative, hilarious, or profound 15 minutes of stage-time, with actors and directors chosen through Driftwood auditions.
