Feb 13, 2026 – 4th Annual “Acts of Love” 

For this, we feature one-act plays with the theme of ‘love’ in honor of Valentine’s Day. Each year we feature original scripts written by people who are a part of Audio Air Force. 

This coming production will be the 4th year for the “Acts of Love”. With that in mind, it’s time to think about whether you’d like to submit something to be considered as a part of this show. If you’re interested in doing so, we’d like to have your submission by Wed. January 21, 2026 at 11:59pm. You can send them via email (members of Audio Air Force only)

Should there be more submissions than can be fit into a single show, a screening committee will be formed to pick which one-acts will be produced. This committee will not include anyone who has submitted a script for consideration.
