The event will begin at the Caretaker's House, and patrons will move throughout the cemetery for the rest of the performances.

The six plays will have undergone a process that will start on the evening of Friday, May 13, with writers choosing their actors from a pool of talent. The six writers will write through the night and hand their work to the directors early in the morning on Saturday, May 14, the day of the performance. After negotiating for their choice of play, directors will work with their actors and a crew of stage technicians to prepare for the 6 p.m. performance.
