New Ground Theatre's next production of "Sudden Theatre" will take place at 7 pm on February 18th. In "Sudden Theatre" plays are written and rehearsed within a 24-hour period and are then performed for an audience. Five playwrights will meet on the evening of February 17th and will be given a writing topic. They will have all night to write the plays; the next morning directors and actors begin rehearsals and the plays are produced that night.

"One of New Ground's primary missions is to encourage new playwrights" said Chris Jansen, Artistic Director for New Ground. "This area is loaded with talented writers, and 'Sudden Theatre' is lots of fun for everyone involved" she said.

Playwrights for the up-coming Sudden Theatre are Jason Platt, Michael Callahan, Jacqueline DeVore Madunic, Shea Doyle and Dana Moss-Peterson. Directors and actors are still needed. Anyone who is interested in participating is encouraged to contact Chris Jansen at cljansen@hotmail.com.

Tickets are $5.00 at the door. No reservations are required. New Ground Theatre is located at 2113 E. 11th Street, in the East Village of Davenport..
