New Venue!!  Two nights!

OPP has teamed up with Not Burned Out Just Unscrewed

for a spectacular mix of comedy improv and world-premiere theater!

 

Play In A Day is an annual event with the crazy premise that ten plays can be written, cast, rehearsed, and performed—all in less than twenty-four hours.  Audience participation,

sleep-deprived playwrights, and cash prizes are all part of this fun, two-night festival.

 

All OPP performances are script-in-hand, staged readings.  Old Pueblo Playwrights (OPP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging the creation of new dramatic works by Arizona authors.
