Kitchen Dog Theater and the New York-based company The One-Minute Play Festival continue their dynamic partnership to present The 2nd Dallas One-Minute Play Festival. The festival aims to celebrate local voices and investigate the local zeitgeist through this exciting process.

The festival will feature 50 brand new one-minute plays by 30 playwrights of Texas’ growing pool of exceptional contemporary writers. Artists will be working on this emerging short form to explore the relationship of the individual voice to the zeitgeist of a specific region. The writers have several weeks to complete scripts, with the only stipulation being that they can be performed in one minute.

This year’s Festival features commissioned work by Jenny Ledel, Vicki Caroline Cheatwood, John M. Flores, Angela Wilson, Isabella Russell Ides, Jeff Swearingen, Jonathan Norton, Bruce R. Coleman, Brad McEntire, Jason Spinos Johnson, Jared Strange, Cody Lucas, Marco Antonio Rodriguez, Tom Sime, Matt Lyle, Nico Martini, Joshua Kumler, Robin Armstrong, Jim Kuenzer, Samantha Rios, Jake Minton, John Michael Colgin, Gretchen Smith, Janielle N. Kastner, Steven Young and more.
