One Song's annual summer show <br /> provides many of the same opportunities as the main shows, but also gives local high school and <br /> college students outside of the Board of Directors the opportunity to choose and direct a show. <br /> Additionally it provides a way for students to remain involved in theatre over the summer, when <br /> the schools' departments are not active. <br /> The February 48 is also designed to push boundaries, especially the boundary of time. <br /> Unlike One Song's three main shows and summer show, The February 48 is not a full-length <br /> show, but rather a series of one-act plays, all of which are written, rehearsed, and performed by <br /> students over the course of a single weekend.

Those with experience are challenged to take all of the work and quality of a <br /> full-length production and condense it into a single weekend, while students who are new to <br /> theatre can explore it through an exciting and short production process. <br /> In addition to opportunities provided by shows, One Song also provides those students <br /> who join the Board of Directors with business and production experience. Board members see <br /> and experience what goes into running a theatrical production company. They set budgets, <br /> handle finances, write grant proposals, find and book rehearsal and performance spaces, and <br /> maintain legal documents.
