This Month, The Unit Collective has partnered with Augustana Apartments (a senior living residence) to create site specific pieces inspired by locations within the building and the residents and staff who frequent these locations. The Dining Area, the Beauty Salon, The Fitness Center and more will be brought to life at the playwrights center…And the AGAIN at Augustana for a special April Madness. Suggested Donation: $5
About MADNESS hosted by the Unit Collective:
If you haven't been to Madness before, here's how it works. Each month, a new Producing Playwright is chosen from the Unit Collective. That Producing Playwright picks a theme, and the playwrights have a few weeks to write a 10-minute piece inspired by that theme. A week before Madness, the playwrights submit casting needs, and casting is done from the pool of actors we've compiled. On the night of Madness, each piece is given approx. 30 minutes of rehearsal/staging time. Doors open at 7pm for food/hang out time, then the show jumps off at 7:30pm where pieces are performed script in hand.
