Theater Alliance Bake-off

Synopsis:
Bake-off playwrights are given a list of "ingredients"--people, places, things, ideas, etc.--that they must incorporate into their piece. These ingredients are sometimes given weeks in advance to allow the writers to outline and brainstorm, though sometimes playwrights only know their ingredients at the beginning of the 48-hour writing period. With such a short timetable to create their pieces, bake-off writers are encouraged to allow their instincts guide them through and are forced to ignore the nagging urge to rewrite as they go. After two days, the playwrights print out what they've got, in whatever form they've got, and the pieces are read.
