The One Minute Play Festival
Theatre in a New York minute!
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hey @florencepugh, we heard about Sir Ian’s reaction to learning you’ve never done a play.

We’d like to help you remedy that.

We are formally inviting you to join the cast of Gi60 NYC 2026. It’s a bit last-minute, we know, but we happen to specialize in minutes.

Our festival performs 50 one-minute plays in an hour. You may not catch up to Sir Ian’s record, but it’ll be a hell of a running start.

Submissions come from all over the world, from well-established playwrights and brand new ones.

Our all-volunteer organization’s ongoing mission for the past twenty two years has been, and continues to be, to provide opportunities for playwrights and theatrical artists, and to support the next generation of storytellers.

And hey, as your first theatrical adventure, that’s you!

A portion of our festival’s proceeds each year go towards the Michael Flanagan and Christopher Thomasson Fellowships, which are awarded each year by @thetanknyc to support early-career theatre artists in creating new work.

Go ahead, slide into our DMs and let’s talk rehearsal schedule! by @gi60nyc

FUNDRAISER PHOTO DUMP!!!

Check out what y'all missed at our fundraiser @bkone_productions last Wednesday night:

-A silent auction featuring local NYC-based artists, and a VIP Festival ticket package!
-Lots of yummy munchies and drinks!
-Details about the one-minute films we're releasing on our Patreon (link in bio)
-A call from Tilly Norwood's agent! (she didn't end up joining the festival cast, thankfully)
-Some crazy improv from @benbrouckaert, David Shay (@coolzvillesucks), @joshua.smithline, @martha.bennett, and Vinnie Ingrisano!
-Our new Mascot competition results: MORRIS AND ALFRED, two NYC pidgeons who fly above us all and see everything. "We fly and poop with love!"
-Not quite reaching our goal of $2000 for the night but we came close! You can still send us some cash through venmo (@gi60nyc) if you'd like to help us close that gap

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us! We hope to see you all at our show in November.

On Wednesday, September 23rd, we’re Feelin’ (Twenty) Two!: A Fundraiser for Gi60 NYC. Sponsored by @bkone_productions, and held at their home in Industry City, we’re bringing you an improv show with food, drinks, a silent auction featuring NYC-based artists, and a competition to appoint our new mascot(s):

📅 Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026
🕕 Doors open at 6:45pm / Show starts at 7:00pm
📍 brooklynONE - Industry City Bldg 5, 51 35th St, Brooklyn, NY 11232
🎟️ $15 per person (cash or Venmo) at the door - RSVPs required!

Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/feelin-twenty-two-a-fundraiser-for-gi60-nyc-registration-1999033221177

In addition to all of that, we will be hosting our own version of “Star Search” for Gi60 NYC’s new mascot(s). Our beloved fern-loving dinosaurs Ira & Irving need successors, and despite advice to the contrary - we’re leaving it up to you! Come with suggestions and by the end of the night, one of your ideas will be our new tiny play mascot(s). Who will it be? A pair of rival hot dog vendors? A couple of bodega cats? Cumulonimbus clouds of hallucinogenic vapor? You decide!

Once the new mascot(s) are crowned, an invitation will be extended to our playwrights each year starting with next year’s festival, to write a one-minute play featuring the chosen character(s). We’ll choose our favorite submission and include it in our festival lineup.

Some things to look forward to:
-Snagging some cool new art for your wall
-Laughing yourself out of your seat
-A new way to buy Gi60 NYC merch
-Helping choose our new mascot
-Our selected play list for this year’s festival will be revealed

Can’t make it but want to support the festival? We’d be thrilled if you’d become a subscriber on Patreon: www.patreon.com/gi60nyc or send us a donation via Venmo (@gi60nyc)

Here’s to the (twenty) second year of tiny plays!

25 years ago I was 11

I was on the R train, around Cortlandt St, on my way to Penn Station. We were in the process of moving to the city from upstate and we were heading back to get the last load of things.

The R train froze in between stops for an excruciatingly long time, but we were used to that. Just normal subway troubles.

When we finally made it to Penn, huge crowds were gathered around the TVs in the Hudson Newses scattered around the terminal. I distinctly remember my mom and I wondering what everyone was watching but ultimately, being the tired, still-on-summer-time, not-at-all-morning-person child I was, I suggested we just get on our train without finding out.

My mother the journalist overheard conversations once our train had left the city, and through interviews with other passengers, choppy phone calls, and probably one too many cafe car hot dogs, we learned what all those people were watching at the station.

We also learned that we were on the last train out before they shut the depots and airports.

When we returned to the city a couple weeks later we got out of the train, and just like the alternate-universe Empire State Building in Mandelas, the towers were just...gone. Unlike the alternate-universe - we will #neverforget.

Plays like Mandelas are what makes Gi60 such a special theatre festival. So much emotion and history can be captured in 60 seconds. 

We've only got 12 days until our Feelin' (Twenty) Two Fundraiser, so if you want to help us continue to produce plays like this every year - please come by Industry City on 9/23 to celebrate with us, subscribe to our Patreon, but most importantly come see the next year of magical minutes in November.

Hoo boy it is truly disgusting outside here in NYC. Heatwave is an understatement. Stay cool out there friends! 

If you need some respite from the oven that is planet earth right now, here is a link to NYC’s Cooling Center finder site: https://finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters/

Once you’re somewhere cool, please enjoy the Ira and Irving adventure Heatwave by Gi60 founder Steve Ansell from 2022.
