Summer Play Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Broadway/Off-Broadway theater producer Arielle Tepper created the Summer Play Festival ("SPF") in 2004 as an annual event to showcase the work of emerging playwrights. Over 1000 people from all over the world submit applications. The final list is whittled down to about 16 plays by a panel of theater professionals; the final selection of plays are then given full productions in the month of July. Unlike the New York International Fringe Festival, there is no application fee and each production is allotted a budget. The SPF organization handles all the marketing and maintains no rights to the plays showcased.
