PlayFUN!

Along with cultivating our own projects, we host a semi-annual event called PlayFUN!, which includes eight 10-minute plays. This event provides professional and emerging artists an opportunity to express one’s artistic abilities in a nurturing environment. Actors, writers, directors, and first-time performers will come together to create short ten-minute plays in a twenty four hour time frame.

Our goal is to provide a format where individuals, artists, and the community at large will be able to exercise their creative muscles. Anyone can participate, and everyone is welcome. At the end of each showcase, the audience will have a vote for their two favorite plays. The plays will then go on to a “Best Of” series. The winner of the “Best Of” series is awarded a small stipend to develop their work further.

Our hope is that we can be a catalyst for ongoing projects, and ongoing collaborations. In the past, pieces from the 24hour PlayFun have gone on to one-act festivals, comedy sketch nights, and developed into full-length pieces.
