Micro Theater CLE is accepting submissions for "A Microdose of Love" on Friday, February 13th, 2026 at The Hermit Club in Playhouse Square. Presented by Arts in the Abbey, this iteration of Micro Theater CLE will feature short performances centered on the theme of love (we're talking partners, friends, canine companions - get creative!). The submission deadline is Wednesday, January 14, with creators notified by Monday, January 19. You don't need to have a fully-developed piece, just an idea. Click here for more information: https://www.microtheatercle.com/submissions At Micro Theater, we produce short performances that are staged simultaneously in different spaces throughout the same general area. Each show is performed a few times per night, so the audience can see a few short plays in an evening with time in between to chat over beers. The micro theater concept started in Madrid before launching in Miami and Buenos Aires, and in 2024 and 2025 we staged several Micro Theater events in and around Cleveland. We had a blast and we want to do it again! Traditional plays, experimental plays, dramas, comedies, physical theater, sketch, clown, burlesque, performance art, and immersive performance are all fair game. Performances should be 15-minutes or less. If you're excited about it, we'll try and make it work. We have experienced producers, directors, performers you can collaborate with, or you’re welcome to direct and cast the show on your own. And if you’re a director (or interested in trying out directing) and/or an actor and would be interested in being in someone else’s show, let us know! Please send any questions to info@microtheatercle.com. Micro Theater CLE is produced by Mindy Childress Herman, Samantha Cocco, and Jonathon Morgan. -- Mindy Childress Herman www.mindychildress.com www.artsintheabbey.com www.microtheatercle.com
