Play In A Day (PIAD) is an all-ages theatre event that challenges participants to conceive, write, direct, and rehearse an original short play - all within just 24 hours! No previous theatre experience is required, everyone is welcome to join!
Guided by a unifying theme and incorporating a surprise prop and costume element, PIAD fosters creativity, collaboration, and spontaneity among artists of all ages and experience levels. The event invites families, friends, co-workers, and fellow creatives to connect through the shared joy of performance.
Culminating in a live showcase at King Street Theatre (9808 King Street), the completed plays are performed before a supportive audience and a panel of local "celebrity judges." The awards ceremony adds a lighthearted, humorous touch - celebrating participation and creativity rather than promoting competition.
The theme, costume pieces, and props are revealed to the teams on Friday, September 12 at 6 PM at King Street Theatre.

This annual event is part of Alberta Culture Days 2025 with support by Arts Council Wood Buffalo and Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.
