The Mad Dash: A Theatrical Endeavor in 24 Hours

The Mad Dash is a wild and wacky celebration of new work that brings together the Boston theatre community to write, rehearse, and mount an evening of eight new plays in 24 hours. This annual tradition is one of Fresh Ink's favorite events, and is a major way we fund the new work we do all season long. 

READY, SET, DASH! 

After a decade of this 24 hour celebration of fringe theatre, we are back for another Mad Dash! Mark your calendars for our 11th annual Mad Dash on Saturday, July 25th at 8pm

One of the most exciting parts of Mad Dash is the behind-the-scenes look at how the event comes together via social media. We'll be posting even more updates, silly selfies, and backstage during this year's event using #MadDash2026 -- follow along via @FreshInkTheatre on Twitter and IG, and share your own posts with the hashtag to join the fun!
