𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗻 “𝗦𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻”

One Night Stand Theater’s next production is 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟭𝟲, a one-night-only evening of staged readings called “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.” We’re looking for short plays, short stories and poems on the theme of seduction and persuasion in any and all its forms -- romantic, sexual, political or trivial – and how people use charm, temptation and enticement to get their way and lead others astray. We’re also interested in anything about historical or fictional seducers like Don Juan, Casanova, Cleopatra and Mata Hari.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟬; 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝟯 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿; send them to [email protected]. If we feature your play or story in the show, we offer a small honorarium and two comp tickets for the performance (at Vintage Theatre in Aurora, Colorado). Plays can be new or old; there are no restrictions on whether the pieces have been previously produced.

Thank you to our talented cast and crew who made “Doctor Crypt’s House of Terror” happen on Sunday night! Thank you to actors Scott, Joi, Kyle, Mark, Adrian, Emily, Mike, Guy and Bethany. Not only did they perform multiple roles with style and grace befitting the Golden Age of Radio, they also provided stunning sound effects at the prop table and portrayed Doctor Crypt through two decades. The audience had a great time and so did those of us onstage.

Thank you to playwrights Dave, Kevin and the writers of the old radio plays we adapted (whoever they are), along with Beth, Bernie, Jeremy, John, and the ushers!

Our next show is in the new year, February 16th, called “The Art of Seduction.” We’ll select the other show themes for 2025 soon, so stay tuned. Suggestions for show themes are always welcome! We will start accepting play and story submissions for “Seduction” late next month.

If you're coming to "By Popular Demand" tonight ...

Due to construction by the City of Aurora, parking is different at Vintage Theatre this weekend; the Dayton Street block at the Vintage Theatre entrance (between Colfax and 14th Avenue) is closed for sewer line replacement. The parking lots to the north and south of the building are also closed during this construction.

The best places to park are in the lots behind Vintage (just to the east), which you can access from Emporia Street (one block east of Dayton) and from the alleys to the north and east of the theater. There is parking immediately behind Vintage and a block to the east in the Aurora Library parking lot.

Plan extra time to get yourself parked, and come a little early to access the closest spots.
