About the plays
On November 13, 2002, Suzan-Lori Parks got an idea to write a play a day for a year. She began that very day, finishing one year later. The resulting play cycle, called 365 Days/365 Plays, is a daily meditation on an artistic life. Some plays are very short, less than a page. Others last forever.

About the production
Created during a month-long workshop with LaGuardia students and professional actors, this productions used multiple languages (American Sign Language, Mandarin Chinese, German, Romanian, Spanish, Japanese and Spanglish), movement and multimedia to present the plays.
