[excerpt] A week before First Stage opens its production, two local theater companies seem to have inadvertently scheduled different combat-theater-style shows on the same night. As Insurgent Theatre's BERZERK!!! runs amok at the Alchemist Theatre in Bay View on Jan. 12, Bunny Gumbo wraps up its two-evening combat-theater show at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center just north of Downtown. Bunny Gumbo's program, which opens Jan. 11, consists of 16 plays in 48 hours. Gumbo has been performing combat theater for quite some time now, and their productions are beginning to receive more and more attention. Not to be outdone, Insurgent's one-night-only performance consists entirely of plays that have been written in 10 minutes by a group of 13 writers and performed by a group of 11 actors.

Berzerk!!! @ The Alchemist Theatre @ 8 p.m.

Twenty-four-hour productions, where troupes have a single day to write, direct and rehearse short plays, have become a popular tradition in recent years, but this joint presentation by Insurgent Theatre and Alamo Basement takes the idea a step further. A dozen or so writers will have a mere 10 minutes to conceive and finish a play (while the actors are given a comparatively generous 24 hours to rehearse). To further explore the writing process, one writer will have an extra week to fine-tune the off-the-cuff script; then both versions (the quick draft and the incubated update) will be performed. Tickets to this one-off show at the Alchemist Theatre, 2569 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., are $5.
