We've selected the best of New York’s avant-garde playwrights, directors and actors to create an entire evening of original work with only one day to prepare. The culminating performance featured six original 10-minute plays centered on a newspaper headline from that day.
The final result was a performance based on raw emotion, first instincts, and uncensored creativity. The evening was filled with drinks, spontaneous theater, and a jumping after-party featuring DJ Idlemind, "The Appropriate Agent" |
