In 25 hours, a group of playwrights and actors will write and rehearse an evening of new plays, bringing them to life as part of The LAVA Center’s 25-Hour Theater Festival.
On Saturday, Nov. 2, local playwright Christine Benvenuto will give the writers — including Henry Balzarini, Nina Gross, Silvia Kaplan, Steve Poulin, Jan Maher and Brian Rust — a prompt to write to and they will each pick from a hat the names of a few local actors to write for. Each writer will create a play that is approximately 10 minutes long. The next morning and afternoon, they will rehearse with their actors.
The resulting performances will be open to the public on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at The LAVA Center, 324 Main St. Admission will be at the door only and a donation is suggested. The show at 6 p.m. will require masking; the show at 8 p.m. will not.
