Asking for Trouble is EST/Youngblood’s annual speed-theater freakout presenting 24 new short plays by 128 actors, directors, and writers, all written and rehearsed in a mere two weeks!
The Youngblood Playwrights draw a director, a cast and a postcard from a hat, and then have one week to write a script for that director and cast. Inspired by (and utilizing) that postcard.
