In November 2002, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks made a personal commitment to write a play a day for a year. On November 13, 2002 she began a cycle of 365 brilliant, inventive, and brief pieces, each a titled, complete play, ranging in length from three lines to three pages. Funny, edgy, absurd, and serious in equal measure, many are stand-alone plays; others are part of play-chains woven throughout the cycle. Thematically, the cycle explores (and even expands) the wide range of political and cultural themes found in her full-length work. From the disintegration of the nuclear family to the African-American experience to the mythology of the American Dream, her body of work forms a powerful critique of how Americans talk and think about themselves as individuals, and as a nation.

Through a 365 National Festival, the project will be produced simultaneously in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and other communities throughout the United States, in what marks the largest theater collaboration in history.
