WHO ARE "WE" ?
YOU and OTHER THEATRE PROFESSIONALS FROM MANY PHILADELPHIA AREA THEATRE
COMPANIES.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once a month writers, directors and actors from
Philadelphia theater companies meet on Friday night and are assigned into
ensembles of one writer, one director and a variable number of actors each.
The writers are given a noun, a verb and a location for inspiration then
overnight write a short (10 minute) piece for the ensemble to perform,
handing over a completed script Saturday morning. The director and actors
rehearse the piece and present it that night. - Twenty-four hours from
inception to production.
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT FLY BY NIGHT THEATRE?
It is often more real because it isn't over analyzed. No second guessing.
For the writer the ability to examine the space and interact with the
director and cast before writing begins provides unique opportunities and
challenges.
For the director the challenge of pulling together staging, lighting, sound
while giving the actors adequate time for working their lines leads to daring
and interesting choices.
The actor has to memorize lines, get into the character, and learn blocking
for a ten-minute piece all in under 10 hours.
-The process and the product are both intense -
