The initial playlets will be performed concurrently on November 19, each repeated several times in their own space. They will be performed by separate casts, and attendees will travel from location to location to view eachwork. The evening will culminate with all attendees seeing one final work in the Mainstage Theater, which will be co-written by no less than three of the writers.
