Zusammenfassung:	Contemporary theater provides numerous examples of the mass consumption of single-serving drama; from the drastically abridged comprehensiveness of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, to the Neo-Futurists' frantic attempts to present thirty plays in an hour, the digitally-encyclopedic Wikipedia Plays, or Mark Ravenhill's recent "Epic Cycle of Short Plays," Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat. 365 Days/365 Plays refers to two distinct microthons: a private compositional journey exploring dramatic form, and a public experiment testing theatrical possibility. Among other things Muse presents Suzan-Lori Parks's marathon of the miniscule: 365 Days/365 Plays.
