5. 365 DAYS/365 PLAYS by Susan Lori Parks
Oct 19 @ 8:00 pm Oct 21 @ 2:30 pm
Cellar Theatre, Fine Arts Bldg.
The University of Georgia Department of Theatre and Film Studies and The 365 National Festival,
Bonnie Metzgar and Suzan-Lori Parks, producers, present: 365 Days/365 Plays by Suzan-Lori
Parks.
In November 2002, the Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks sat down and
committed to writing a play a day for the next 365 days. The world premiere of this play cycle will
be performed as a yearlong national festival simultaneously in major cities and communities
around the country. From November 13, 2006 to November 12, 2007, over 600 theaters in
Atlanta, Los Angeles, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, Austin, Washington D.C., Chicago,
Minneapolis, the Carolinas, Mississippi River towns, and university campuses will create the largest
theater collaboration in U.S. History. Participating theatres are each performing a week’s worth of
plays (7 plays) during the calendar week in which they were written -- brief, brilliant snapshots
from the imagination of one of America’s leading playwrights. The 365 Festival selected the UGA
Department of Theatre and Film Studies to produce the seven plays that Parks wrote between
October 15 and 21. Internationally renowned director Robert Woodruff will be in residence at UGA
for an intensive 10 day workshop with the department's Graduate Acting Ensemble to develop the
production.
Suggested donation: $5 at the door.
*Content warning: this production featurs adult language and situations, and smoking on stage.
Audience discretion is advised.
