The Long Day of Short Plays is a short play festival on a short timeline—an entire production process crammed into a single day: rehearsals in the morning, tech in the afternoon, shows in the evening, and all wrapped up by 11pm.
The show will feature seven brand new scripts by Seattle playwright David “Gordon” Gordon, ranging from sci-fi to fantasy and from humorous to heartfelt. Temperamental stars, reluctant heroes, confused robots, bemused humans, suspicious math, self-actualization, and some very extra extra-terrestrials. Don't miss it.
The show will run approximately 90 minutes with one intermission.
