New Manifest Theatre is proud to announce the sixth annual Manifest Minifest Short Play Festival, taking place Sept. 29 and Oct. 1- 4, 2025 at Ground Floor Theatre in Austin, Texas. This year’s festival pulls inspiration from Gil Scott-Heron’s song and poem, “The Revolution Will Not be Televised.” The event features four fully produced short plays that challenge systems, uplift marginalized voices, and spotlight activism.
In addition to the short play performances, New Manifest will host two theatre workshops and throw a party for the Austin arts community. The festival also marks the re-launch of the New Manifest Theatre Podcast, with a live taping on Oct. 1.
