As part of the Actors Studio 75th Anniversary celebration, we’re pleased to present “ON THE FLY 2023: Then & NOW”, a redux of the 10 Minute Web Play Series presented on Zoom in 2020 by the BIPOC (representing the Indigenous, Black, Latine, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, North African, South East Asian) members of the Actors Studio as live zoom presentations in response to the challenges we all endured during the racial, cultural, economic and social unrest in our nation’s history amidst the COVID 19 pandemic.
“On The Fly…” is just what it means, and will feature the work of BIPOC playwright/director teams paired at random with Studio actors (members, finalist and participants) and tasked with conceiving and developing a short play over one week with a given prompt.
This event comes in two parts.
Friday, May 19th at 7pm – “THEN” – a screening of selected original pieces as they appeared on Zoom in 2020. There will be a short Q and A afterwards.
Saturday, May 20 at 7pm – ” & NOW” – A series of original short plays, written and directed (as in 202o) by members of our BIPOC community, will be performed live onstage. This event will be followed by a short Q and A.
