The 16 plays that we will be presenting this Friday and Saturday at 7pm at the Venue at Mohaupt Block don’t even exist yet.

Thursday night, 8 writers will randomly choose a Who, a What, and a Where. Then they’ll write a script that incorporates those elements.

Friday morning, 8 directors will randomly get one of those scripts, then they’ll randomly get their cast. Director and cast will rehearse all day, finding props and costumes along the way. (They also enjoy a delicious dinner provided by our generous sponsor PIZZA LUCE!!)

Friday night, those 8 world premiere plays are performed.

Then we do it all over again for Saturday.

Call (218) 213-2780 for tickets and info. We’d love to see you there! Just forgive us if we’re pooped.
