More about the projects:

Quickies is a Live Girls! trademark event and the longest running program. 2013 will bring our 14th installation of this short play event, which includes 7 short plays by women every year, as well as up and coming local directors and actors. Quickies Volume 14 will be performed in association with Theater Off Jackson in June 2013. We are working with the themes of  ”Exploration” & “Discovery” for our 14th edition and plays that fit these themes are highly encouraged (though not required).

Returning for 2013 is our Spring Cupcake Reading Series. We will be presenting readings of 5-8 plays over a week to showcase a wide variety of plays and writers.  Dates and location TBA.
