When I first came across this article, I did a double-take, wondering how the Barksdale Theater could support 365 days of plays. Then I discovered that it’s really an international festival of more than 300 vastly different plays and performances connecting communities and theaters.
That’s exactly what Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks had in mind when she embarked on an unprecedented creative mission to write a play a day, every day, for a year. The result: “365 Days/365 Plays,” an innovative theatrical concept that turns an everyday stage production into a national relay race of 52 weeks of sequential performances presented in seven-day blocks.
“365 Days/365 Plays” opens at 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 22 at Barksdale Theater. Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $5.
