The Strawberry One-Act Festival

The Strawberry One-Act Festival, the brainchild of Artistic Director Van Dirk Fisher, is a play competition in which the audience and the theatre’s judges cast their votes to select the best play, best director, best actor and best actress of the season.

Twice a year, hundreds of plays from across the country are submitted for the competition to compete. Plays move from the 1st round to the semi-finals and then the finals. On October 28th the festival culminates with an Awards Ceremony. The playwright of the winning play receives a grant and a development deal to have a full-length play developed by the Riant Theatre. In addition, several plays are chosen to be published in The Riant Theatre Company’s next anthology: The Best Plays From The Strawberry One-Act Festival: Volume Five.
