48-HOUR PLAY FUNDRAISER
FROM PAPER TO STAGE – TWO DAYS TO PLAY
A 48-hour Play FUNdraiser is coming to Carpinteria, offering a creative competition and support for local live theatre.
Carpinteria, CA—The Alcazar Theatre is excited to announce its upcoming 48-Hour Play FUNdraiser. Teams of 5-10 participants will compete to create a short play in just 48 hours! The fundraiser will take place from May 30 to June 1, and all money raised will support the Alcazar’s Live Theatre and the Alcazar Ensemble. Participants can choose between two options: Bring your team ($85 per team) or join as an individual ($20) and get assigned to a group.
The festival will kick off on May 30 at 7:00 pm, bringing together a community of theater enthusiasts. A prompt and a prop that must be included in each play will be announced. On May 31 at 7:00 pm, the script will be handed over to the director and actors to begin blocking, staging, and memorizing their play. Finally, on June 1 at 7:00 p.m., it’s showtime! Audience members, part of our vibrant community, will be given a ballot to pick their favorites, and prizes donated by local businesses will be awarded.
Artistic Director of the Alcazar Theatre, Asa Olsson, thinks that the 48-hour play festival is an excellent opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together and create something fun and special. She is excited to see what plays the teams will develop and to help their local theatre through this creative competition.
