On Friday, January 24th at 10 pm…playwrights, directors and actors all met at NRACT to work on the theme for the show…new year’s resolutions!!! Everyone left and at midnight, the playwrights started writing!!! Once they finished they emailed them to the producer, Jason Tyne-Zimmerman, who worked out the details with everyone so they could prepare for the Saturday evening performance! Everyone received the needed info at 6 am and by 8 am everyone had arrived at NRACT for a LONG DAY of rehearsals!!!
At 8 pm, it was showtime!!! And what a great show!!! Totally fabulous!!!
