Dionysia: A Festival of Short Plays at The Players’ Ring

Players’ Ring Theatre
105 Marcy St
Portsmouth, NH 03801 US

A Festival of Short Plays
In collaboration with Outcast Productions
Directed by Alex Bickerstaff, Jordan Formichelli, and Christopher Savage

After last year’s success, Dionysia returns!

The Dionysia was a large festival in ancient Athens in honor of the god Dionysus, the central events of which were the theatrical performances of dramatic tragedies and – later on – comedies. It was the second-most important festival in Greece.

The Players’ Ring is thrilled to present the second edition of this festival, aimed at showcasing 11 excellent original works in the form of short plays selected among 159 submissions from everywhere in the US and beyond and performed by an ensemble of 9 actors playing 33 different roles!
