The Shoe Box Short Theatre Festival is a place for artists to fine tune pieces they are working on or to creatively push the constraints of the proscenium theater engaging our Festival audience with the unique immediacy of live theatre.

 

From dance, adaptation to devising, to scripted work to new play development The Shoe Box Short Theatre Festival is committed to strengthening the Philadelphia Theatre community at large by offering a high-tech venue and technical assistance for theatre makers at any stage of their artistic development.
