Baltimore's ten-minute play festival kicks off with a party, and 2025 will mark the 21st annual project! Join us at Strand Theater from 2pm to 5pm on Saturday, January 18th. Scribble on our graffiti wall, sit for a video confessional, and hobnob with local writers and artists.
Audiences of 2024's Variations on Courage voted "NIGHT" as next year's theme, and this party is where we'll generate source material to inspire 2025's authors. That includes YOU! The Variations Project encourages participation from all levels of writing experience. We look forward to a fun afternoon with new friends and old.
After the party, it's time to start writing. Our submission deadline will be February 28. Following the deadline, we'll hold readings of all the plays we receive, with the authors present for discussion and to receive feedback. Writers will then have the opportunity to make revisions before final selections are made. Shortly after the readings, we will announce the group of roughly 8 to 12 plays which will be produced on stage—and start rehearsals!
VARIATIONS ON NIGHT will appear on stage at Strand Theater, July 5 - 27. Actor friends: please note that these cold submission readings also serve as auditions for the production ensemble. If you're interested in performing with us, they're your best shot. And they're fun! As always, Rapid Lemon Productions pays all their artists a small stipend. Playwrights whose work is chosen for the summer show will also receive a small royalty.
Those who miss the party, but still want to take part, have no fear: we will post images and videos from the event on our website shortly afterward.
The Variations Party is free and open to the public. Tickets aren't required, just show up! And feel free to join us that evening at 8pm, for a performance of our world premiere production of "Honey Bee Baby" by Erlina Ortiz. Tickets for that show will be available at the party.
Street parking is available on Harford Road and in nearby blocks.
