Do you have what it takes to get your project green lighted?
Writing a play, directing and acting all take craft, consideration and time. What happens when time is eliminated from the equation? The Fast Track Project! Together Playwrights, Directors and Actors will come together to write, direct and perform in a three minute play. The catch: this will all be accomplished in an hour timeframe.
My experiences in this kind of collaborative effort have been with what many people call 24 hour theatre. In those circumstances you are given 24 hours to write, direct and perform your play. What makes The Fast Track different? You are given one hour to prepare! The theatre artists will be given a topic to write about within minutes of meeting each other. They will then find out they have an hour to write, direct and rehearse their piece. Everyone will then come together and present their finished products in front of one another.
The way I can describe this project is exciting and freeing. You are working closely with other theatre artists having to think on your toes in a limited time frame. It is a good exercise and learning experience for any theatre artist. Everyone brings to the table their own expertise and ideas as a starting point and that is where the magic comes from. It is extremely rewarding to see what you are capable of producing in a collaborative environment.
Are you an eager, passionate theatre artist? Then come and board The Fast Track! In the end a few groups will get the green light and their projects will move on to a future event of featured short plays, where they will be able to lengthen their original piece.
