The past week’s short play festival will be particularly interesting. I am working on a brand new challenge... One minute plays. As part of our ongoing workshop of projects that push as as writers, we have decided to try to write and produce a Blitzkrieg Midnight Festival this week. The challenge is to do 30 plays in 60 minutes. Normally we do 11 five minute pieces. So that mean 30 one minute to one and a half minute pieces. They will be timed and done in a completely randomized order. There will also be a stop watch so the audience can see the time counting down. IF we make it through all 30 there will be pizza for all. If not...well not sure what will happen. The light will go out during the middle of the show maybe? But, the core of the idea is can we write well crafted actual PLAYS that are only one minute long? Can we move, disturb, corrupt, entice or show a particularly dynamic part of human existence in just one minute? So far I’ve written two. I will keep you posted. And next week they will be here on the blog!
