One Festival – 3 Cities.

From October 2010 through January 2011, the Network of Ensemble Theaters
(NET) is hosting a triptych of "Micro-Festivals" across the
United States designed to build a national conversation around ensemble
theatermaking. Presented in partnership with the Literary Managers and
Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA), these 2 and half-day "Micro-Fests"
highlight ensemble performances and practices, each centering on a
specific theme.

Micro-Fest:LA will investigate how ensembles are creating new work.

Angeles, December 3-5, 2010.
