The Dirty Blondes presents

I WANT TO BELIEVE

​July 14​, 2018
​The Kraine Theater
I WANT TO BELIEVE is a PLAY IN A DAY FESTIVAL featuring six world-premiere short plays written, produced and performed in just 24-hours.

At 7:30pm Friday, July 13th, six adventurous playwrights will be given a variety of writing prompts - all centered on the concept of "Modern Day Conspiracy Theories." These playwrights will then write an original 10-minute play overnight, and  turn in a finished script to a team of one director and two actors. That team will then stage and rehearse the new play and present a finished production 24 hours after they first met - 7:30pm Saturday, July 14th.

The Reptiliian Elite, The Faked Moon-Landing, and other pervading theories will be explored in this unpredictable, spontaneous and ridiculously-fun night of live theater!
