The New York Chapter of Theatre 68 celebrates its 9th Annual One Acts Fundraising Festival featuring seven original one act plays written by company members!

Amid the closures on Broadway and Off-Broadway, Theatre 68 is pushing the boundaries of a new medium for live theatre. Celebrating creativity and ingenuity with their annual play festival, this time broadcasted through Zoom. Each play is written, directed and performed entirely by members of the company. Centered around the theme of Primal Instincts, these short plays will take a classic theatrical approach infused with film production elements. Each 10-15 minute play will be performed once a week for six weeks, beginning on Tuesday August 18th at 8pm, and running through September 27th. Each play will be shown on YouTube (link below) and through the Company's social media accounts, and will include a talk back with the actors and director following the performance. Tickets will be donation based through Venmo or PayPal, and all proceeds will continue to keep the "doors" of Theatre 68 open, both in New York and LA.

While producing during the pandemic has been challenging, one advantage is that the Virtual format allows Theatre 68 the unique opportunity to show their work to audiences all over the world! In a time when the theatre community is losing traction day by day, Theatre 68 hopes to use this opportunity not just to keep the wheels turning, but to grow, move forward, and to reach a widespread audience in ways that have not been possible before.

Theatre 68 is Bi Coastal, with a company residing in New York, and a physical theater home in Los Angeles. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, many theaters in the NoHo arts district have been in danger of closing, Theatre 68 being no exception. The One Act Festival will not only act as a fundraiser for Theatre 68s theater in North Hollywood, but a celebration of its mission and the work of its members.

ABOUT RONNIE MARMO - Originally from the East Coast, actor/producer/director/writer Ronnie has managed to call both the East and West coasts home during his twenty five year career. He is most recently known for his stellar performance in his one-man show, Im Not A Comedian Im Lenny Bruce, which he also penned directed by the talented Joe Mantegna. Marmo has starred in more than 60 feature films and television shows, recently guest starring in Criminal Minds and Lethal Weapon.
