The Concord Theatricals Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival

The Concord Theatricals Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival The nation's leading short play festival. The Concord Theatricals Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival (OOB) is the nation’s leading short play festival.

Beyond playwrights, the Festival has given voice to many emerging directors, performers and production companies. As part of our unique model that requires playwrights to partner with sponsoring producers, we’ve hosted prestigious theatre companies on our Festival stage such as The Royal Court, Circle-in-the-Square, Ensemble Studio Theatre and The Yale School of Drama. It is an honor to provide a

home for so many exceptional artists, and we’re humbled when thinking back to the many great performances that have happened on our stage.
