It’s coming June 6-8 - the 2nd annual 711 Theatre Project: a unique competition that challenges theatre troupes compete to produce, direct, and stage an 11-minute play in 7 days. The 711 Theatre Project will provide the theatre, the set, the lights and the sound system.
As the only known deadline-driven short play competition, the 711 Theatre Project shifts from the focus from “finding” one’s vision to creating it. With 7 days to produce an 11-minute play and given the production values up front, performance artists are free to work together as a team to dream, dare and dramatize.
