| Description |
 Talented playwrights from across the country compete for hundreds of dollars in cash and non-cash prizes in this popular annual competition of short plays - plays that have never been produced in California. Some changes have been made to Hurricane Season this year: Playwriting finalists have been pre-selected by a jury. They will compete for cash prizes during the final week of the festival. Prior to that, there will be three blocks of plays, each of which will run for two consecutive weeks, and each of which will include one of the Finalists. Non-cash prizes for the playwrights, actors, directors, and overall production will be voted on by the audience.
The schedule follows. Cast is listed as available:
