| | On Thursday night, seven playwrights gather and choose a theme for the following night's performance. Each playwright has until 8:00 AM Friday to write an entirely new 10-minute play. |  |
|
|  | On Friday morning, the seven new plays are randomly chosen by seven directors. Each director is assigned a cast (also chosen by lotto) and has the remainder of the day to work with actors, musicians and designers to prepare for performances that night. |
|
| | Friday night, all seven new plays are performed for two houses packed with Seattle's most adventurous theaterpatrons. At the conclusion of the first performance, the audience selects a theme for the next night, the playwrights depart to write another new play and the process repeats. |  |
