SUMMARY:Overnight Sensations
DESCRIPTION:Since 2006\, Hollins University’s Playwright’s Lab and Mill Mountain Theatre have partnered to bring this popular event to Roanoke. Six playwrights are randomly paired with six directors\, who are then draw from a hat one of six casts made up of six 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 11 am over lunch\, and rehearse from noon to 5 pm\, when they do a cue to cue\, set levels\, and open the doors for the audience at 7:30 pm\, Saturday night\, so that we can share what we’ve done with all of you!\n\nThis year\, as last year\, we’ll be doing this jointly produced event of the Hollins-Mill Mountain Theatre Partnership on the main stage of the Hollins University Theatre. Join us\, won’t you?\n\nAlways FREE and open to the public! No tickets or reservations necessary.

SUMMARY:No Shame Theatre
DESCRIPTION:No Shame Theatre is an experiential performance lab where writers\, performers and audience are constantly changing roles. Anything can happen and usually does in this late night venue for original work. We take the first 15 pieces to walk in the door and there are only three rules: pieces must be original (no copyright violations)\, short (five minutes or less)\, and not break anything (including the law). Inside those rules you can do pretty much anything you’re interested in trying in front of a live audience–plays\, monologues\, songs\, dance\, poetry\, mime\, juggling\, comedy\, tragedy\, Improvisation\, dada\, magic–we’ve even seen people do floral arrangements! Pieces are accepted starting at 10 pm\, doors open at 10:30 pm\, and the show starts at 11 pm\, running on average an hour and a half.
