Scheduled for April 19th through May 2nd at the Theater for a New City, located in the Lower East Side of New York City. DUTF, presented by Creative Ammo Inc., is a two-week celebration of urban theatrical expression by a cross-section of playwrights.

Three of the outstanding works produced during the festival will receive $1,000 awards in the categories of Best Play, Best Short and Audience.
