seasons (17 shows) in the early 90’s. It was later revived in
Denver, CO in 2001 and premiered in Charlotte on February 29, 2008.
Over the years hundreds of artists have participated in various
ways. Season V premieres at Theatre Charlotte on October 15, 2010.

ABOUT THE SHOW…
just do
it
is an
all-inclusive themed event providing deadlines, focus and a venue
bringing together pros and newcomers, writers, singers, spoken word
and performance artists, non-theatre folk and risktakers of all
types and ages and a ready-for-a-good-time audience! Performers ages
have ranged from 12 to 82.
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 and share
impressions with friends, audience members and performers.
THE DEADLINES
Participants MUST COMMIT to meet submission deadlines for first and
final drafts, time/word limits and to be available pre-show for a
technical rehearsal. SPACE IS LIMITED. Preference given to 1st
time performers and those interested in creating new material for
the show.
(More details available)

adhering to deadlines and guidelines within certain regular
