The 30 Minutes or Less Festival, A New Platform for Bite-Sized Storytelling in LA

Presented by Theatre Asylum / Combined Artform at The Stephanie Feury Theatre

Theatre Asylum and Combined Artform have announced the debut of their 30 Minutes or Less Festival, a celebration of storytelling and live performance in a 30-minute format. The festival is open to all types and genres of live performance, as long as a show is 30 minutes or less. Participants may also share a 30 minute slot by pairing two 15-minute performances. Each evening’s lineup will be grouped in categories such as drama, comedy, solo performance, TV and film script readings, musicals, and more.

30 Minutes or Less Festival will be held at the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre January 15th to 26th, 2025. Performers will compete for several awards across all categories, with a grand prize valued at over $800 awarded to the show with the greatest potential to advance in its production journey.
