Bring Your Own Theatre (BYOT) is a platform for anyone and everyone to come and create live theater with a supportive and collaborative group of talent, regardless of experience level. Our company found its roots in the living rooms of its members and has expanded to perform at venues throughout Chicago. Every month, five writers, five directors, and a group of actors gather to create and perform five brand new plays - all in 24 hours!
Location: Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro, 3905 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60613
Friday, April 5: We will be having our virtual pre-show meeting at 7:00 pm. At this meeting, we will give an overview of the process, announce the groups, and announce the theme. Groups will break out to go over consent, comfortability and collaborate about preferences for the piece.
*Writers will then have until 8:00 am, Saturday, April 6 to complete their short plays.
Saturday, April 6: All actors, directors, and the production team will meet at Mrs. Murphy's at 12:00 pm. From there, groups will rehearse, memorize and tech their short plays.
