Overview
One of Manhattan's most established play festivals, the Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival fosters the work of emerging writers, giving them the exposure of publication and representation. The 49th collection includes:

A Definitive Ranking of My Closest Friends by Jay Stalder (2 women, 3 men, 1 nonbinary) - A definitely possibly toxic group of six friends is nearly out the door for their annual camping trip when a private note is found on the ground. On this small piece of paper are all of their names, ranked.
