Venue: 612 Fillmore Ave. Buffalo
A spontaneous short play festival in which writers, actors and directors team up to invent and present short plays inspired by a common prompt within one day. A festive whirlwind celebrating theater and scrappy creativity- see your friends and neighbors on the Torn Space stage!
We currently have enough writers, but we could still use a few actors and directors! See the Participant Details page below to learn more and sign-up:
