The BACKSEAT festival is composed of short plays, scenes and monologues created by Victor Almanzar, David Anzuelo, Stephen Belber, Elizabeth Canavan, Mariana Carreño, David Deblinger, John Gould Rubin, Greg Keller, Jinn S. Kim, Florencia Lozano, Melisa McGregor, Cheray O'Neal, Paula Pizzi-Black, Lucy Thurber and Kara Young.
