At each presentation, three short plays are staged in three secret locations near the Opera House, with audiences traveling by car to reach each performance site.

Total running time—including the three plays and travel to each performance site—is expected to be approximately 90 minutes.

Please take note that to reach each performance location, audiences will be also walking a short distance across grass that is sometimes gently sloping. For whom this may be a concern, please write [email protected] so that we can make accommodations.

At each play location, blankets and some seating will be provided. Audiences are also welcome to bring their own seating, if preferred, or to stand. Each individual piece has a running time of approximately 20 minutes.
