Synopsis

A City Theatre Tradition! Take a group of playwrights, give them an image or phrase, assign them three actors and a director, and send them off to write a play in ten hours. Bring them all back together the next day to rehearse the play in preparation for a performance that night. What do you get? An amazing and often wild evening of theatre.
