Returning again after a successful premiere, THE FIVE MINUTE MILE is a unique night of theatre where any given night you can see plays about meeting the parents, superhero problems, the Friend Zone, the realities of being a refugee, salesmen schtick, accepting yourself, fictional relationships, and the crazies that come out of the woodworks everywhere. Comedies and dramas, plays and monologues - you will get to see slices of all kinds of lives - five minutes at a time.
The best part is that you get to help decide what you see! 32 plays are selected for the production. Eight are scheduled to perform each night. The next six are drawn at random at the start of the show. The last six are voted on by the audience based on the title, descriptions and the actors involved! Its a different lineup every single night! THE ENSEMBLE: Kacie Adams, Brittny Bush, Sam Denomy, Kelsey Finstad, ElizaBeth Grant, Cheramie Hooper, Calvin Hudson, Bryan Maynard, Ashley Slaughter, Renata Smith, Whitney Zangarine and Lance Zierlein. Renata Smith and Christine Weems direct.Performances are 8 p.m. November 10-13 and November 16-19 at Obsidian Theatre, 3522 White Oak. For information, email info@conemanrunning.com. $18.
