just do it provides artists and creative people of various disciplines an opportunity to create and present work in front of an audience. It is open to all individuals, experienced or not, amateur and professional.

Many of us are looking for a creative outlet or avenue, or a focus to steer our creativity towards. Most of us don’t have a public forum to showcase our talents. A lot of us need the pressure of deadlines to help our inspiration flow. Some of have often dreamt of writing or performing something… 

just do it does it! 

THE FOCUS
Each night has a different theme in the form of a title, word or expression. Individuals may use any number of mediums to express their take on the theme.

THE VENUE
All performances take place in the theater on the mainstage complete with lights and sound. Wine, beer and soft drinks available in the lobby help create a social atmosphere to mingle with friends and performers.

THE DEADLINES
Participants agree to meet submission deadlines for first and final drafts, and to be available pre-show for a technical rehearsal.
