All in a Day Theatre Festival set for Saturday

08-22-2008 | Fine Arts

Dreamwell Theatre and United Action for Youth will collaborate for the first time ever Saturday for the All in a Day Theatre Festival.

The companies will get together tonight and come up with six new plays that will be performed at 8 p.m. Saturday at the United Action for Youth Center, 255 Iowa Ave., Iowa City.

All interested actors are invited to participate, and no audition or advance preparation is necessary. The process begins at 7 p.m. tonight at the Community of Christ Church, 121 S. Ridge Dr., Coralville.

Actors will be assigned to teams of writers and directors, each of which will be assigned a genre and setting for their play. After getting acquainted with the actors Friday night, the writers will go home and create scripts.

They will reconvene with actors and directors Saturday morning to rehearse. At 5 p.m. the productions will move to the Youth Center and each show will get one dress rehearsal.

Performances begin at 8 p.m.; admission is $5 and all proceeds will be donated to the United Way of Johnson County for flood relief.
