About Mad Dash
A spontaneous short play festival in which writers, actors and directors teamed up to invent and present short plays inspired by a common prompt within one day. A festive whirlwind celebrating theater and scrappy creativity- friends and neighbors collaborated on the Torn Space stage in this inauguration of what will be an annual event.
