Six teams of artists have sweat, cried, stayed up all night and refrained from breathing on each other for one whole weekend to bring you the experience of a lifetime…

On the evening of October 29th, the artists gathered and received a prompt package containing a random sound, a piece of text and an object. For the next 48 hours, they worked together to write, learn, rehearse, direct, film, and edit a completely new short opera from scratch.

Who are these masochists?  What did they come up with?  Are they still alive? There’s only one way to find out...

Attend the Viewing Party to meet the artists, see their work, and wield the power of your opinion to vote for Audience Choice and bestow a $500 prize on the winner.

There may even be a special surprise for you with a soon to be announced audience contest! 

Viewing Party produced in partnership with Loose Tea Music Theatre
