What is BYOT? Every month, five writers, five directors, and a group of actors come together to create a never-before-seen show. Writers, directors, and actors are randomly grouped at a meeting the night before and then the writers have until the following morning to write an original 10 minute play. After a presumably sleepless night, the writers hand off the theatrical baton to the directors and actors to rehearse until the performance!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First time participating? Let us know what you'd like to do. We'll get you on this month's list, and the final cast and crew will be revealed the Monday before the show!
Some typical roles include:
Actor, Writer, Director, Production Manager, Tech, Emcee, Special Act (e.g., musical act, spoken word, improv, stand-up, dance, digital short, anything interesting or fun not listed here...)
Not sure about diving in on your own? We'll pair you with a BYOT Company Member or participant experienced in that role to help you through the weekend. Simply request a mentor when you sign up!
Don't forget! Anyone is welcome to participate in the monthly show, regardless of experience! Forward this event to anyone who you feel would enjoy participating. Or, invite them to the performance!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to ask.
We can't wait to see you soon!
