Vignettes for Valentine’s 

Runway Theatre is excited to bring back a beloved tradition with Vignettes for Valentine's, an evening of original short plays celebrating love in all its forms. Selected works will be presented as part of a special Valentine's Day fundraiser on February 14, 2027, with both a matinee and evening performance. Whether your story is funny, romantic, bittersweet, heartwarming, awkward, or completely unexpected, we want to read it!

Submitted plays should explore themes related to:

• Love

• Relationships

• Romance

• Friendship

• Heartbreak

• Family connections

• Dating

• Marriage

• Second chances

• The many ways people connect with one another

Because this event is intended for a broad audience and serves as a fundraiser for Runway Theatre:

• Excessive profanity should be avoided

• No graphic violence

• No explicit sexual content

• Adult themes are acceptable when handled thoughtfully and appropriately

• Runway Theatre reserves the right to make final determinations regarding content suitability

Writers are encouraged to think creatively as not every story needs to be a traditional romance. Authors retain ownership of their work. By submitting, playwrights grant Runway Theatre permission to produce the piece as part of Vignettes for Valentine's should it be selected.

The submission deadline is September 25, 2026 and authors will be notified of their acceptance status in November.
