An annual theater festival that dares to create 14 new plays from scratch in just 48 hours.

The annual fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants festival features seven writers, seven directors, plus a gaggle of actors, designers, musicians, and technical wizards.

Here’s how it works: On Thursday night, the artists gather, some meeting for the first time and throw themes into a hat. After a theme is drawn, 7 writers head home to write 7 brand new 10-minute plays overnight. The next day, 7 directors draw the play they will direct, then they draw their cast, and then they get to work: 7 new plays are rehearsed, designed and scored throughout the day and performed twice on Friday night… and then the whole process happens again! By the end of Saturday, 14 new plays are born, produced and presented in just 48 hours. It’s theatrical madness of an incredibly creative sort.
