About us
Welcome to Actors and Writers Spontaneous Plays. Whether you’re an actor conquering stage fright, a writer crafting original scenes, or just someone looking to get out and try something new, join us to collaborate, create, and perform a scene all in one evening. Events are held about every other month in the Twin Cities. You are not expected to be a seasoned writer or actor, just someone willing to get out and try something new. How does it work? Just show up, bring a notebook if you are writing and your good spirit if you are acting. Writers will be given a prompt/theme which might be a setting for a scene or a word of inspiration. They will then be given 20-30 minutes to write the script for a scene on the spot. Most of the scenes are monologues or two-person scenes. Then the scenes are handed off at random to another attendee, who will do a theatrical reading of the script. The series of monologues and two-person scenes will create an instant show on the spot. Come to write, perform, spectate, or all of the above.

Spontaneous Productions Acting and Writing Meetup
Davanni's Pizza & Hot Hoagies, 6345 Penn Ave S, Richfield, MN 55423, USA, Richfield, MN, US**This event is cross-posted on our email list so note there will be more attendees than this rsvp list.**
Please join us for the Spontaneous Productions acting and writing event, where you have a unique opportunity to create a scene from a play and perform it in the same evening. You can choose to be a writer, actor or both. All experience levels welcome. If you've wanted to try your hand at playwrighting or acting or just want to try something new, this is the event for you.There is no critique - this is just a community experience to exercise your creative and performing arts muscles. All are welcome.
How does it work?
The event will be in the large party room and will start promptly at 7 p.m., so please arrive on time.
We will read the rules, then announce a prompt for the night, which might be a scene location, or a word of inspiration.
Writers will be given 20-30 minutes to write a script for a scene. Most scenes are monologues or two-person scenes, depending on how many people are willing to be actors.
Then the scenes will be randomly handed off to actors who will have 20 minutes to read and practice the scenes. This is a great opportunity to try your hand at acting/performing without having to memorize a script!
We will end the night with the performance of the monologues and two-person scenes. Trust me - it's a treat!
If you plan to write, please bring a notebook and a pen.
To use the party room, a minimum $7 purchase is required for all attendees. It is recommended to make your purchase online before you come so they can plan for the volume. Richfield - Davanni's
We hope to see you there!
