W.A.D. is not just a theatre project. It's a sweaty, raw mess of creativity.
Every few months, we gather for a no-holds-barred night of one-act plays—wild readings, unexpected turns, bold choices, and a whole lot of Writers, Actors, and Directors shooting their collective WAD onstage. It’s a messy celebration of theatrical experimentation and hot-blooded artistic communion.
But wait—there’s a twist.
W.A.D. isn’t just about letting it all out on the floor. It’s also a competition.
Each event ends with audience and celebrity judge voting: Best Writer, Best Director, Best Actor. Winners are crowned, ballots are counted, egos are stroked, and alliances are made.
Over the course of several events, the chosen ones rise like yeasty dough to the top. Then comes the final bake-off: a curated throwdown of W.A.D.’s most formidable artists competing with all-new work for the ultimate prize—a full production mounted by W.A.D. with all the creamy glory that implies.
So submit. Share. Show up.
Shoot your WAD.
We’ll be watching.
