An entire evening of original one act plays written, cast and rehearsed in 24 hours!

Performance Saturday April 5 at 7pm
at St John Fisher College (Basil Auditorium).

Tickets: $5 available at the door
(Free to Fisher Faculty, Staff and Students)

This is the second time an event like this will take place at St. John Fisher College. It will feature student authors from the Fisher Writing Program, headed by MJ Iuppa. It will give these students a chance to not only develop a work but also have it produced on stage - all in a very short time period.

Many of the actors and directors are either St. John Fisher College faculty and students. Others hail from the surrounding Rochester communities.

"This is low-commitment, high-stress theatre," quips producer John Barthelmes, who also produces a One Act festival at Fisher every fall. "I love the format of the one act - so much can happen in just a few pages of script. I'm also excited to see what creativity is spawned from having to put all of this together within a 24 hour time period."

Mr. Barthelmes plans to take this event to other locations around the area if successful.
