Play in a Day happens at the Imagine Performing Arts Center

Live performances and stress tend to go hand in hand. But the Play in a Day performers might be in special need of heart-rate monitors.

These local artists will have 24 hours to create short plays with a theme only handed to them the day prior. They’ll present their efforts off-book at the Imagine Performing Arts Center at the Oviedo Mall this weekend.

A silent auction featuring gift cards, theme park tickets and original art will take place before the performances. All proceeds will go toward the LGBTQ+ Center of Orlando. VIP tickets include reserved seating and a couple of raffle tickets.

6:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, Imagine Performing Arts Center, 1220 Oviedo Mall Blvd., $10-$25.
