One Day Only!

May 20, 2000 Audacity Productions gathered together more than thirty actors, writers and directors. In the course of 24 frantic hours five plays were produced, from scratch, as full-scale productions for live, paying audiences. This devious little experiment was called ONE DAY ONLY! A highly truncated short play festival, it involved locking five playwrights together in a cheap motel room over night as they wrote five seperate scripts based on ideas they drew from a hat. Directors lead actors in the blocking, rehearsing, memorizing, and teching of the shows over one hectic twelve hour stint.

The outcome was a highly spontaneous, gut-instinct form of theatre, with actors braving tightrope performances of plays without histories, where, literally, anything could happen.

The plays included in

ONE DAY ONLY! were:

 

* THE BEST IS YET TO COME (left) by Brad McEntire, Directed by Carol Rice

* MORNING by Donald Barbee, Directed by Vikas Adam

* THE ELEPHANT ROOM by Jason Stuart, Directed by Mitch Carr

* THE DERELTH MYTHOS (right) by Phil Gonzales, Directed by Jen Pearcy
