It's the 20th anniversary of Overnight Sensations!Come out and see 10-minute original plays written OVERNIGHT and performed the NEXT DAY!
Since 2006, Hollins University's Playwright's Lab and Mill Mountain Theatre have partnered to bring this popular event to Roanoke. Playwrights are randomly paired with directors, who are then draw from a hat a pre-made cast made up of actors.Then they draw random prompts to find out what the genre, theme, and location will be. The writers write all night, share their work with the director over breakfast and make revisions, then they share the plays with the actors at 11AM over lunch, and rehearse from noon to 5PM, when they do a cue to cue, set levels, and open the doors for the audience at 7:30pm Saturday night so that we can share what we've done with all of you!
This year we'll be back at Mill Mountain Theatre's Trinkle Mainstage! Join us, won't you?
Always FREE and open to the public! No tickets or reservations necessary.
