Presented by Summer Residency artists Intramural Theater Company!

On the night of Saturday 9/13, New Orleans locals will gather and be randomly grouped into five teams: each made up of a playwright, a director, and a cabal of fabulous actors.

The teams will receive a few prompts — a line that all scripts must incorporate, perhaps a scenic constraint, and a prop — and then they’ll have just 25 HOURS to create a 10-minute play FROM SCRATCH.

Then, on Sunday night, audiences will take part in this delirious celebration of creative spontaneity as they watch the shows be performed for the FIRST (and perhaps the ONLY) time. There will be moments of transcendence, serendipity, and, of course…confusion.

This is all we can say. There is nothing left to tell. There will be 5 short plays, and we have no idea what they’ll be.
