It’s 10 years since we founded 1MPF! We’ve been a lot of places. We’ve made a lot of tiny plays. We’ve learned a lot about the world. Now: we’re going back to where it all started: The Brick Theater! We’ve gathered some of our original playwrights, closest collaborators, and long-time friends to do a “throwback” 1MPF, where we make the plays down n’ dirty, drink a lot of beer, and have some good old school indie theatre fun.

The One-­Minute Play Festival (#1MPF) is America’s largest grass-roots community-engaged theatre festival, founded by Producing Artistic Director, Dominic D’Andrea. #1MPF is social barometer practice, which investigates local zeitgeist and narratives through dialogue, consensus building, and a performance of minute-long moments generated by each community. #1MPF works in partnership with traditional theatres, cultural institutions, and social justice institutions sharing educational, community-focused, or public service missions across the country. The aim is to create locally sourced community events, with the goal of promoting the spirit of radical inclusion. #1MPF includes participants of different points of age, race, culture, gender, socio-economic background, and stage of career. The work attempts to reflect the values, topics, trends, styles, ideas, and big conversations that bubble up to the surface in each community.
