Theater buildings may be closed, but theater companies can still Zoom. Join The Theater Project online, when they showcase eight short plays in their eighth annual one-act play festival, THINK FAST, February 19-21. Tickets ($15) may be purchased online www.thetheaterproject.org. The Theater Project invited submissions last fall and chose eight plays to be showcased in THINK FAST. The audience and a panel of playwright-judges vote for Audience Favorite and the $500 Judges Pick awards. Its never an easy decision, says artistic director Mark Spina, and we like to remind everyone who participates that a competition is just an excuse to bring talented people together. This event is part of the New Jersey Theatre Alliances Stages Festival, the states largest annual theatre festival, which provides free and discounted theatre events for all ages throughout the months of March, April, and May. The eight short plays will be prerecorded and broadcast Friday and Saturday at 8 PM and Sunday at 2 PM. Each performance is followed by a live cast party on Zoom open to the THINK FAST actors, directors, playwrights, and viewers. The audience is asked to vote for their favorite plays after each show. The Audience Favorite award along with the $500 Judges Prize will be announced at the Sunday, February 21 post-show Zoom cast party. In addition to Best Play, the judges will nominate and select winners for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director.2021 FINALISTS:The World is Lit by Lightning by Kevin BrofskyAtlantics Pharmaceuticals by Sarah J.
