Cone Man Running Productions is excited to announce the 32 short plays and monologues that will be our Five Minute Mile - Holiday Edition! The series will perform at Cone Man Running’s space at Spring Street Studios in Houston, Texas. The show will run from December 6th - December 22nd, 2024.

​

Michael Weems serves as Artistic Director.

​

We will be again staging this one-of-a-kind theatre festival. Each evening, twenty (20) plays will be performed off book by a core ensemble of actors. Eight (8) of those plays will be set for each evening, six (6) will be drawn at random by audience members and the last six (6) will be voted on by the audience (based on title, the blurb provided, and word of mouth). Every night will be a different experience!
