taxdeductible theatre has announced the 19th installment of The Dare Project; world premiere ten minute plays, written on a dare.

taxdeductibe announces how it works: "Each writer is dared by our community to write a ten minute play. The dare can be anything—a genre, a line of dialogue, a character, whatever idea they want to commission our company to develop. They put their dares into a hat, and our writers for the next production each take a shot of tequila, reach into the hat and draw their dares. Once dared, the company has a month to develop the scripts, and then another month to rehearse. Then, ready or not, the play is presented in front of a packed house as a one night only event."

taxdeductible's show mission: "In our nineteenth installment, along with our world premiere ten minute plays, written on a dare, we'll include a ten minute adaptation of the work in progress on taxdeductible theatre's first ever full length play, which is in development and opening this fall. One of the underlying themes of that full length play is also going to run as a thread through this evening, tying each of the pieces to one another, creating new ten minute works that can stand alone AND contribute to the development of taxdeductible theatre's larger project."

The theme for The Dare Project #19 is: DENIAL HAS A PLACE

"It’s going to be an incredibly exciting year for taxdeductible theatre and we look forward to sharing it with you every step of the way. Come and be a part of the most daring night of theatre in New York," invites taxdeductible.
