Play-in-a-Day is an annual event with the crazy premise that a half-dozen plays can be written, cast, rehearsed, and performed -- all in less than twenty-four hours. Audience participation, sleep-deprived playwrights, and cash prizes are all part of this fun, two-night festival.
Friday evening --
Enjoy performances of Five Short Plays, written by OPP members. Watch as twelve playwrights are randomly paired for a night of collaboration. Join fellow audience members to write a line of dialog and select three props -- which the playwrights are then obliged to write into their plays.
Friday night and into the morning --
Each pair of playwrights create a 10-minute play, due at dawn.
Saturday morning --
Directors and actors arrive and spend all day rehearsing until…
Saturday evening --
Six world-premiere plays appear on the Cabaret stage for the audience’s pleasure and
amusement. Two cash prizes are awarded: An Audience Choice is voted on and a panel from Tucson’s theater community chooses a Critic’s Prize.
All plays are script-in-hand, staged readings. Old Pueblo Playwrights (OPP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging the creation of new dramatic works by Arizona authors.
Tickets: $6 per night or $10 for both nights
