As if the truncated schedule of putting on a live show didn’t generate enough stress, a small assemblage of theater stalwarts have decided to put on The Red Eye Theatre Festival. Seven scripts, selected by a jury of playwrights, are given to seven directors and 25 actors in four locations across the United States. At 8am, the directors draw their script, select their actors and go into rehearsal. At 8pm, the seven casts mount the stage in each of the four locations and present their family-friendly scripts for the audience. Our corner of this unique theatrical event takes place in Waynesboro with the oversight of Hamner’s Boomie Pedersen and WTA’s Clair Meyers.
Saturday 11/2 $10-12, 8pm. WTA Gateway, 329 W. Main St., Waynesboro. (540) 943-9999.
