A one-of-a-kind, one-night event featuring short films and plays from more than 35 Valley artists
Midnight Oil: A Film and Theatre Challenge, is a combined 48 hour film project and 24 hour theatre festival coming to Phoenix for one night only - Saturday, August 26th at 7PM. The evening features 6 new short films and 6 brand new plays, and brings together over 35 theatre and film artists from the Phoenix Metro area.
Tickets are only $10 (at the door and online: https://bpt.me/6110298) and all proceeds go to benefit Space 55 and B3 Theater, two of the Valley's most exciting alternative theatre organizations that consistently feature new work by local artists.
A bit about the process: playwrights and film teams are given prompts - a line of dialogue, a prop, and a theme to include in their piece. Film crews complete their challenge the weekend before the event, having only 48 hours to complete their films. Playwrights are given their prompt the night before the show and have about 12 hours to complete their scripts. The actors and directors come together with the writers the next morning and rehearsals begin. By 7PM, the plays are memorized and the show starts!
