We are thrilled to announce the return of TheatreASAP, the most electrifying theatre event in San Antonio! And this year, it’s going to be even more unforgettable as we celebrate 30 years of SATCO – a legacy of collaboration, creativity, and community.
What is TheatreASAP?
TheatreASAP is SATCO’s signature 24-hour play festival that dares local writers, directors, and actors to create, rehearse, and perform original 10-minute plays in just one day.
This year, five creative teams will rise to the challenge and debut their brand-new works in a one-night-only performance — fueled by pure adrenaline, imagination, and teamwork.
