***


The One-­Minute Play Festival (#1MPF) is America’s largest and longest
running grass roots theatre company, founded by Producing Artistic
Director, Dominic D’Andrea. #1MPF is social barometer project, which
investigates the zeitgeist of different communities through dialogue,
consensus building, and a performance of 50-100 short moments generated
by each community. #1MPF works in partnership with theatres and/or
social organizations sharing playwright, educational, or
community-specific missions across the country. The aim is to create
locally sourced playwright-focused community events, with the goal of
promoting the spirit of radical inclusion. #1MPF represents playwrights
of different age, gender, race, cultures, and points of career. The work
attempts to reflect the theatrical landscape of local artistic
communities by creating a dialogue between the collective conscious and
the individual voice.

In each city, #1MPF works with
partnering organizations to identify programs or initiatives in each
community to support with the proceeds from ticket sales. The goal is to
find ways give directly back to the artists in each community.
Supported programs have ranged from educational programming, youth
poetry projects, theatre program in prisons, playwright residencies and
memberships, playwrights salaried commissions, community access
projects, arts workshops, and other social and artistic initiatives.


Annual partnerships have been created with theaters in over 20 cities
including: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Trenton,
Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Baltimore, Boston, Miami,
Minneapolis, New York, Seattle, Dallas, Austin, Indianapolis, Anchorage,
