KEY WEST SONGWRITERS FESTIVAL

The largest festival of its kind in the world celebrates its 22nd year as

audiences to the faces, voices and stories behind the songs.

It's the lighting-quick theater project that develops five brand new
pieces of theatre from start to finish in only 24 hours!
From the moment that the writers draw their casts from a hat the night
before until the performance, over fifty talented locals come together to
share ideas, props, costumes, and stories, and to magically create five
brand new 10 minute plays.
With the clock ticking, it takes dozens of people working together at
a wickedly fast pace to make the project come to fruition. Playwrights
write all night to deliver freshly penned scripts to The Studios on Saturday
morning, just in time for actors, directors, and artists to pick up
the creative baton. Actors spend the whole day learning lines and getting
into character, artists create canvas backdrops for each of the new
plays, and directors play ringmaster, working to keep focus and momentum
throughout the day.
“It’s a thrilling, nail biting, head banging, hilarious ride. You’ll congratulate
yourself heartily for not missing this fantastic and exhilarating show!”
