Fearless Five: Conspiracies

Original Production Date: Winter 2018


Fearless Five is the annual short play festival produced by Fearless Comedy Productions. We are thrilled to give five writers, five directors, and a brilliant multi-tasking cast of six the opportunity to work in a group to hone their existing talents and culminate new skills.

This year’s theme is Conspiracy Theories. Some of our writers have honored the classics, and some have given life to new conspiracy theories altogether. Our shows at this year’s festival will touch on the (obviously staged!) moon landing, déjà vu–you know, that odd sensation where you’ve already experienced these same exact moments, our electronic assistants Siri and Alexa, playing the part of a murder victim in a show that seems a bit too real, and the gratification of discovering that a conspiracy theory is actually true.

You bring an open mind, and we’ll provide the tinfoil cap to keep it safe.
