It’s back! Atlanta sees its third One-Minute Play Festival on June 8-9 at Actor’s Express.
The One-Minute Play Festival (#1MPF), a New York-based theater company, was founded by producing artistic director Dominic D’Andrea. It’s America’s largest and longest-running short-form theater company, with annual partnerships in about 20 cities.

That list includes, but isn’t limited to, Margaret Baldwin, Jonida Beqo (aka, Gypsee Yo), Nick Boretz, Steve Brown, Greg Carraway, Paris Crayton III, Gabriel Jason Dean, Ralph Del Rosario, Phillip DePoy, Johnny Drago, Suehyla El-Attar, Daryl Fazio, Neeley Gossett, Doug Graham, Peter Hardy, Michael Henry Harris, Annie Harrison, Megan Hayes, Matt Horgan, Karla Jennings, Nicole Kemper, Hank Kimmel, Hilary King, Jon Ludwig, Grant McGowen, Morgan McGowen, Amina S. McIntyre, Vynnie Meli, Laura Meyers, Matt Myers, Penny Mickelbury, Addae Moon, Patrick Morgan, Tuwanda Muhammad, Lee Nowell, Topher Payne, Jill Patrick, Theroun D’arcy Patterson, Jordan Pulliam, Mike Schatz, Terry Segal, Robin Seidman, Marki Shalloe, Travis Sharp, Mia Kristin Smith, Sherri Sutton, Pamela Turner, Kathryn Walat, Steve Yockey, Jacob York and Pat Young.
