Short+Sweet Hollywood

Short+Sweet Hollywood makes its North American debut in Hollywood, after presenting successful festivals in India, Malaysia, Dubai, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and beyond. The festival first opened in Sydney, Australia in 2002, and is now an international phenomenon that is expanding 10-minute performing arts and entertainment opportunities across the globe! More than 60 plays, each 10-minutes or less, will be presented throughout the Hollywood festival. Theatre audiences cast their votes and help choose winning writers, directors and actors.

The festival includes plays about civil unrest in Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray by Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award-winning playwright Kitty Felde; a world premiere opera based on a Grimms’ fairy tale by composer/lyricist Enrique Acosta and a comedy by acclaimed playwright Susan Cinoman starring San Francisco Forty Niners defensive back-turned-actor Dwight Hicks.
