WEEK ONE - 2026 Short Play Festival

Week One of EXIT Theatre's 2026 Short Play Festival presents six original short plays.

Dentist Noir by Brian C. Petti directed by Tish Sloan. When a femme fatale wanders into a dental office just before closing time, a hard boiled dentist has a life-changing decision to make.

The Return of the Giant Moth by Larry Bliss directed by Janine Redwine. Meeting at a Fifties Sci Fi film festival, two seniors step carefully toward a connection.

37 Origami Bees by John Busser directed by Wendy Butler. A man attempts to play a favorite song using his Alexa personal assistant. Alexa, however, has other ideas... Technology is wonderful. Until it ain’t.

Time Table by Jeff Perlman directed by Mychal Evenson. At a mystical restaurant, a young couple realize they’re dining with themselves 30 years in the future. What they learn about life, love, and the importance of quality toilet paper becomes a surprisingly moving meditation on how wisdom lives in the smallest details.

A Vampires Reflection by Kyle Walker directed by Scott Q Marcus. When a bored vampire meets an inept vampire hunter, the secrets of an eternal life are revealed in the most unlikely of ways.

The Love Meter by Briggs Hatton directed by Daniel Marcus. The owner of a dive bar needs repairs for her antique arcade game - a mysterious “love meter” that’s been through years of local lore.
