The WonderLand One-Act Festival kicked off May 24 and runs through June 8 at the Studio Theatre on Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street).  The elimination rounds are determined by a committee of theatre industry professionals (producers, agents, managers).  Only three plays will be selected to move on to the Free Fall round on June 8.  The end of the festival will be celebrated with the Wonders Awards Ceremony this Saturday evening, June 9 at Chi Lounge.  Ten awards will be presented including the top honor of Best Production and that playwright will receive a $1,000 grand prize.

The Studio Theatre and its lobby have been transformed into a festive carnival atmosphere for the WonderLand One-Act Festival, featuring games, raffles and other surprises.  Tickets are $18 and are available through TicketCentral.com 212-279-4200.  For more information visit www.youarehereproductions.com.
