24-hour Play Festival Overnight Sensations returns!

6 new ten minute plays and a fun night of theatre at MMT!

FREE and open to the public
General seating.
Since 2006, the Hollins Playwright’s Lab and Mill Mountain Theatre have teamed up to present a fun-filled night of entertainment with our “micro-brewed” 24-hour play festival, featuring the world premiere of six original 10-minute plays.
Pre-selected casts of local actors and celebrities — including returning favorites JP Powell (My Radio), Natalie Faunce (WSLS’s Daytime Blue Ridge), Mike Allen (Roanoke Times) and five actors from Mill Mountain Theatre’s apprenticeship program — rehearse with one of six directors to fully stage these new works at 8:00 pm!
Playwrights for this year’s Overnight Sensations include three members of the award-winning Hollins Playwright’s Lab (Sean Abley, Jessica Burton, Erica Zephir), local favorites Ben R. Williams and Dwayne Yancey, and guest playwright Jay Reiss.  Directors include four Hollins Playwright’s Lab students (Kavin Grant, Kate Leslie, Lauren Brooke Ellis, Amile Wilson), guest director Katerina Yancey, and our very own Bob Moss (Off-Broadway Living Legend).
Always fun, always packed, and most importantly, ALWAYS FREE!  We look forward to seeing you in the audience!
