"Wingin' It!" is Back!
When asked if last year's participants would be willing to give "Wingin' It!" a go again this year, the responses were enthusiastic. "I'd love to!" says Dee Stubbs.
"Wingin' It! An Evening of Mayhem" was such a success last year organizers couldn't wait to add it to the roster for this year's festival. "The only hard part was deciding who would be in charge; we all want to take part!" jokes planning committee member Lisa Flower.
The event is simple. At 8 pm on Friday, August 10th, participants are put into groups, given a line of dialogue and a prop from the Evening of One Act Plays audience. They then have 24 hours to write a 10 to 15 minute play, rehearse it, gather props, costumes, additional cast and crew if necessary, learn their lines and then perform it for a paying audience Saturday, August 11th at 8 pm!
"It was like one giant 24 hour whirlwind brainstorming session," says Stubbs. "It really challenged our creative abilities and sense of humor."
"I was also really into all the creativity that was flying around while the process was going on you could almost reach out and grab some out of the air," says another participant, Blaine LeRoy.
Everyone involved has said time and again how much fun the 24 hour event was. "We've been asked a number of times in the last year if we were going to be putting it on again," says Flower.
What makes the event so special, you ask? We asked participants what their personal highlights were.
"One of the things I loved about it was the ability to participate in a theatre project without a huge time commitment," confided LeRoy. "I also liked the casualness of it all... the screw ups on stage just added to the fun. Another highlight? "Accidentally christening the Marry Oland stage with a Marry Oland product....hehehe."
Anthony Stuart couldn't make up his mind what his favorite part was. "Working on the fight choreography... Standing on stage wondering how on earth the show was going to go... hearing Al's character voice...."

"One of the major highlights was the entire creative process," says Andrea Cyr. "We started with an idea, threw it out and continued to develop the new idea and come up with ideas to make it better and funnier!"
Registration forms are now available for those who would like to take part in this fun event.
Not interested in performing? Come see the show! Tickets are $10 each. The event is also included on our $30 Festival Pass.
