ABOUT THE SHOW…
just
do it
is an
all-inclusive themed event providing deadlines, focus and a venue
bringing together pros and newcomers, writers, singers, spoken word
and performance artists, non-theatre folk and risk takers of all
types and ages and a ready-for-a-good-time audience!
THE
FOCUS
Each night has a different theme in the form of a title, word or
expression. Individuals may use any number of mediums to express
their take on the theme.
THE
VENUE
All performances take place in the theater on the mainstage complete
with lights and sound. Wine, beer and soft drinks available in the
lobby help create a social atmosphere to mingle and share
impressions with friends, audience members and performers.
THE
DEADLINES
Participants MUST COMMIT to meet submission deadlines for first and
final drafts, time/word limits and to be available pre-show for a
technical rehearsal. Deadlines are usually at least 4-6 weeks
prior to performance date.
SPACES ARE LIMITED.
