Overnight Sensations 2021

Since 2006, the Playwright’s Lab at Hollins has partnered with Mill Mountain Theatre to present a micro-brewed theatre festival. Again this year, due to ongoing pandemic restrictions, the entire event will take place virtually on Zoom. On Friday night six playwrights are randomly paired with six directors, who then randomly draw from a hat a variety of writing prompts and a preselected cast of local actors. Before 9 a.m. the next morning, they have to write a 10-minute play. They meet via Zoom with their directors over a virtual continental breakfast on Saturday morning and make any last minute changes before the actors sign in to Zoom and the plays begin rehearsal. When 8 p.m. rolls around, the audience are at their screens and the show begins! Go to www.facebook.com/hollinsplaywrights/events/ for additional information.
