The performances will take place at the deadline of 7:30 p.m. Saturday, with an encore at 2 p.m. Sunday, at Provincetown Theater, 238 Bradford St. (Tickets: $20; provincetowntheater.org or at the box office).
Participating playwrights will be
Stephen Desroches, Brigid Moynihan, John Shuman, Candace Perry, Michael
Gaucher, Judith Underwood, Dian Hamilton and Jody O’Neil.
Directing their new works, with 24
area actors as well as crew members, will be Margaret Van Sant, Steven Myerson,
Kate Wallace Rogers, Roger Chauvette, Bart Murell, Bob Cohen, Ron Daniels and
Fermin Rojas. Frank Vasello and Nathan Butero are the show's producers.
