On Friday, September 5 at 8:00 p.m., directors, writers and actors will gather at the theater and the theme will be announced. The writers and directors will have a few minutes to come up with an idea for a 10-minute play. Each writer will create an original 10-minute play and submit a script by 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 6. The directors and actors will study the script and rehearse the 10-minute plays throughout the day.
We will then debut the series of 10-minutes plays that evening at 8:00 p.m. for a one-night-only Festival. Join us to see the amazing results of 24 hours of pure theater! | Buy tickets now! |

Man of La Mancha is one of the world's most popular musicals. Inspiried by Miguel de Cervantes' 17th-century masterwork Don Quixote and set during the Spanish Inquisition, the original 1965 production won five Tony Awards including Best Musical.
Cervantes is in prison awaiting trial. He and his fellow prisoners perform a play-within-a-play, telling the story of the elderly Alonso Quijana who renames himself "Don Quixote" and goes on a quest to right wrongs in the world. The rousing Spanish-inflected score includs the classic numbers The Impossible Dream, I, Don Quixote, Dulcinea, I Really Like Him and Little Bird. | Buy tickets now! |

When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Obsevatory in the early 1900s, she isn't allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women "computers," charting the stars for a renowned asstronomer who calculates projects in "girl hours" and has no time for the women's probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take the measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman's plan in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women's ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and the Earth. | Buy tickets now! |
