The concept ranks alongside The Grand Cinema's popular 72-Hour Film Competition in the Too-Busy-for-Culture-Give-It-to-Me-in-a-Hurry Hall of Fame. Returning to Tacoma, the Double Shot Festival takes playwrights, directors and actors, then gives them a mere 24 hours to write, rehearse, and stage original plays. Not even George Bernard Shaw worked this fast. The plays unfold in a leisurely two hours, twice, Saturday night, so you don't have to sweat - they do. The Double Shot Festival is a partnership between the Northwest Playwright Alliance and the Broadway Center's year-long Free For All focus, which means the Double Shot Festival is free to attend.
DOUBLE SHOT FESTIVAL, 7 and 9 p.m., Broadway Center's Studio III, 901 Broadway, Tacoma, free admission with online registration at broadwaycenter.org
