The 2026 One Act Play Festival will be the sixth produced by Theatre Odyssey. For each festival, plays are submitted by authors from throughout the United States and then scored by readers engaged by Theatre Odyssey because of their proven ability to discern good work.
The produced plays are new, original, and have not been produced in the state of Florida. Only 100 plays are considered, and the four top scoring plays are then performed by the company and a Best Play is selected. Three theater professionals, different from those who scored the plays, then choose the best of the four, which is announced following the final performance; the Sunday, October 4th Matinee.
