Shotz! is a theatrical pressure cooker that every month gives six groups two weeks to write, two weeks to rehearse, two hours to tech, and two chances to perform all-new short plays the first Monday of every month at Under St. Marks Theater in the East Village. Unified by three common criteria, each collection of plays captures a variety of perspectives around each month’s theme.
