# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Thirteenth Annual Playathon - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: Fairfield Center Stage Presents the Thirteenth Annual PLAYATHON Short plays to be written, cast, rehearsed and performed in the course of a 26-hour Playathon Public Performance Sat May 30, 2026 @ 7pm @ St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Fairfield Fairfield Center Stage, a nonprofit community theater company, will produce its twelfth annual “Playathon”, a presentation of new 10-minute plays to be written, cast, rehearsed and performed in the course of a 26-hour timespan. A group of writers, directors, and actors will assemble Friday evening, May 29, to meet and greet one another. A theme will be revealed and role types determined based on the actors present. The playwrights will then each sit down to create a new work overnight around that theme. Early the next morning, the actors and directors will return to the theater for an intensive day of rehearsal leading up to a presentation of the works that same evening. As an extra challenge, the writers and directors will have three recurring/shared requirements: (1) implementing a recurring prop (for example, an extension cord that must appear in each of the plays), (2) a recurring action (for example, “each script must include an actor delivering an insincere compliment to another actor”), (3) a recurring line (for example, “each script must contain the line ‘Why are we whispering?’”). The performance is open to the public and will take place at 7pm Saturday evening, May 30, at St. Paul’s Epicsopal Church, 661 Old Post Rd in Fairfield (free parking in town hall lot and vicinity). Tickets are $15 (general admission). Tickets may be reserved ahead of time @ www.fairfieldcenterstage.org. Seating is folding chairs in rows. Subject to availability, walk-ups will be accepted. General Admission seating will begin 30 minutes prior to the performances, first-come, first-served. Indoor restrooms and concessions are available. The recommended age for this event is 16+ (under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian). Similar to other events of this nature, the performance will be presented with minimal scenery, costumes, and technical elements. The actors, writers, and directors will be announced soon.
