What happens in one minute? Let's see how many plays from here, we can get there.
Post your piece in Playwrights Gym - Feedback, and let's hone these babies. When you are writing a one minute play, every single word must forward the plot...and there can be a plot...and/or define something of one of the characters.
Read below for submission details.

Wow - 12 actors in a 60-second play? That'd be something to see!

I found the post in Notices, but no deadline. I found their website and it had all the same information, but no deadline. Sooooo, I sent them an email and I'll report back when I hear from them.
Thanks,
Edd
