Play-in-a-Day Festival

Our third annual fundraiser! 

August 14

Beatrice Hereford's Vokes Theatre 

The Play-in-a-Day Festival is our wildest, most high-energy event of the year, bringing together 30 daring artists from across New England to write, rehearse, and perform six brand-new 10-minute plays in just 24 hours. Starting from absolute scratch at our Friday night kickoff, these creative teams spend the night writing, and the next day staging, before taking the stage on Saturday evening to share theatre that is immediate, alive, and packed with creative courage. Grab your pay-what-you-want tickets below to join us in person or via livestream and experience the beautiful, caffeinated madness of what can be created in a single day!

I'm Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire

By Samantha Hurley

September 3-12

Abbott Memorial Theater

It’s 2004, and 14-year-old Shelby Hinkley has kidnapped Tobey Maguire, at the height of his career, to force him into marrying her. Samantha Hurley’s laugh-out-loud dark comedy, steeped in Y2K nostalgia, explodes our para-social relationships and the obsessions that detonate them.
