Alpha Psi Omega, the University of Guam Theatre Honors Society, is inviting the public to watch a Play in a Day production on June 17, 2020, at the UOG Theatre. The play starts at 7 p.m. and doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The play will come from event participants, who are challenged to create a stage-ready theatre production in 24 hours.

Starting at 7 p.m. the day before, participants meet and start writing scripts, deciding costumes, building props and sets, and rehearsing lines. They then put on a production at 7 p.m. the following day.

The first Play in a Day was put together the week before the start of the Spring semester on Jan. 19, 2020. With the positive reception of the first event, APO hopes for an even greater turnout for both audiences and participants.

“It’s considered the ultimate test for thespians to do all this in 24 hours,” APO member and event chairperson Serf Mannaky said.

“It’s one of those things you do in college as a theater person,” Mannaky said. Due to possible adult themes in the production, those interested in participating must be 18 years or older. For more information, contact Serf Mannaky at smannaky@gmail.com.

The play follows Adam, who, urged by his politically minded girlfriend, has to vote. However, when Adam comes into contact with three individuals – a radical ecoterrorist, a mayoral candidate willing to do anything for a vote, and his sister, he discovers that voting might be more complicated than he thought.  

“It’s about all the craziness that ends up happening on that day,” said Michael Slane, UOG assistant professor of theater, and the show’s technical director and set designer.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m and showtimes will be at 7 p.m on Sept. 29 to Oct. 1. Matinee showings will also be available. On Sept. 30, the play will be held at 9 a.m. and from Oct. 1 to 2, it will be shown at 2 p.m. at the UOG Fine Arts Theater.

General admission will be $10. Students and senior citizens pay $7.50.
Admission will be free for UOG and GCC students who present a valid I.D. or class schedule.
