Dear US: One-Acts to Bridge the Divide 2026

Dear US: One-Acts to Bridge the Divide is an evening of 11 short play readings that answer the question: What's going on in America right now?

Curated from playwright submissions nationwide, these plays are a living example of varied viewpoints co-existing on the same stage. There's nothing else like it: honest, compelling plays of every stripe -- stage-read by talented local actors --  laying out the good, bad, and everything-in-between that’s happening in this country. 

At turns comical, moving, absurd, and deeply relatable, Dear US harnesses the inherent power of theatre to build bridges between and among individuals.

Included in the event is a facilitated talk-back after the performance to encourage open-hearted listening and dialogue. Light refreshments will be provided.

Run time is 90 minutes, no intermission. Seating is general. Recommended for ages 13+
