Normally\, these eight readings are minimally staged at Mill Mountain Theatre for the general public and close to a dozen guest professional responders from all over the globe. As part of the festival\, there will be a panel discussion when our guest respondents will introduce themselves\, talk briefly about their own background\, and then give a moderated response to the festival as a whole. Get acquainted with these plays and playwrights before they are famous and engage in a conversation about theatre with our students\, faculty\, and some established theatre professionals.\n\nFriday\, July 19\n\n8 pm; The Greenhouse by J.

Anything can happen and usually does in this late night venue for original work. We take the first 15 pieces to walk in the door and there are only three rules: pieces must be original (no copyright violations)\, short (five minutes or less)\, and not break anything (including the law). Inside those rules you can do pretty much anything you’re interested in trying in front of a live audience–plays\, monologues\, songs\, dance\, poetry\, mime\, juggling\, comedy\, tragedy\, Improvisation\, dada\, magic–we’ve even seen people do floral arrangements! Pieces are accepted starting at 10 pm\, doors open at 10:30 pm\, and the show starts at 11 pm\, running on average an hour and a half.
