THE (very) SHORT ATTENTION SPAN THEATRE FESTIVAL

presents

The 5 & Dime’s Short Attention Span Theatre Festival returns for its sophomore engagement, bringing together artists and audiences to celebrate exciting new theatre in under 10 minutes... now extended to TWO DAYS! This year, we’re combining “Shorts” (5-10 minute, live plays) with “Very Shorts” (1-5 minute virtual live-to-tape plays) to create this celebration of new, original stories right here in Jacksonville!

All stories are original works by local writers or writers with ties to the Greater Jacksonville area. Join us as we make history: the largest new play festival in Jacksonville’s history!

The Short Attention Span Theatre Festival is sponsored in part by the City of Jacksonville and the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville through the Cultural Service Grant Program.

10131 Atlantic Blvd. Jacksonville, FL 32225
