About the Production
Crazytown is a satirical one-act play by Jonathan Rand that takes audiences on a wild ride through a fictional town where everyday situations spiral into comedic chaos. The scenes include an outlandish police interrogation and a school debate turned political battleground - all packed into a fast-paced and energetic format. The production is presented by special arrangement with the playwright (jonathanrand.com).
Diversity Scholarship Program

Hundreds of applicants nationwide submitted to be part of this opportunity. The selected cast receives professional acting training, including acting classes for beginners and experienced performers, at no cost to the performer.
