All In A Day Play Festival Set For January 25–26

The All in a Day Play Festival sponsored by Dreamwell Theatre and City Circle Theatre Company of Coralville will be held Friday and Saturday, January 25 and 26. This is the eighth time these two theatre companies have joined forces to sponsor this award-winning event to create and present six 10-minute plays in just 24 hours. The final performance will take place Saturday, January 26 at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts

On Friday evening, January 25th, six writers, six directors, and 30 actors will come together to create six original plays. Writers are randomly assigned a location, a genre, and one other dramatic detail to include in their scripts. Writers, actors, and directors brainstorm ideas and then the writers leave to create ten-minute plays by 8:00 am Saturday morning when the actors and directors receive the play.

The six original plays will be performed on Saturday, January 26 at 7:30 pm at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts - 24 hours after the start of the festival. Plays and performances are adjudicated and awards will be presented for performances, plays, and directors.
