The One-Minute Play Festival (OMPF) is an NYC- based theater company, founded by producing artistic director Dominic D’Andrea. OMPF works in partnership with theaters sharing playwright or community-specific missions across the country. In each city, OMPF creates locally sourced playwright-focused community events, with the goal of promoting the spirit of radical inclusion by representing local cultures of playwrights of different age, gender, race, cultures, and points of career. The work attempts to reflect the theatrical landscape of local artistic communities by creating a dialogue between the collective conscious and the individual voice. OMPF works with partnering organizations to identify programs or initiatives in each community to support with the proceeds from the work. The goal is to find ways give directly back to the artists in each community. Supported programs have ranged from educational programming, youth poetry projects, teaching artists working in prisons, playwright residencies and memberships, and community arts workshops.

Now entering its 36th season, Mixed Blood Theatre invites the global village into its audience and onto its stage for provocative, inclusive, and predictably unpredictable theatre. With programming in its historic firehouse in Minneapolis, regional tours, and customized productions addressing workplace inclusion, Mixed Blood uses relevant and entertaining theater to spawn a ripple effect of social change. In 2010, Mixed Blood Theatre Artistic Director Jack Reuler received the Theatre Communications Group’s prestigious Peter Zeisler Memorial Award for exemplifying pioneering practices in theater, freedom of expression, dedication and risk-taking for the advancement of theatre arts. This year, with support from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, Mixed Blood launched Radical Hospitality, providing no-cost access to its mainstage productions for all audience members.
