Social Justice Shorts 2025

https://cur8.com/25728/project/131879

Join us for Social Justice Shorts 2025, running June 6-8–an evening of powerful short plays that bring vital issues to the stage through bold storytelling and unforgettable performances, produced by Bread Roses Missouri and A Call to Conscience Interactive Theater for Social Change.

Featuring 20 short plays and monologues written by playwrights from across the country–including 5 from right here in St. Louis–this year’s festival explores themes of justice, resistance, identity, and hope. These stories come at a time when we need Art more than ever, uplifting diverse voices and creating space for justice-centered conversations.

Join us for a celebration of community, creativity, and courage. This is a production that reminds us all: art is a catalyst for change

Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 3:00 pm
