Color Arc Productions is seeking original solo acts inspired by PIZZA that run 60 seconds or less. Your Pizza Pieces can be poetry, flash fiction, true tales, comedy, music, beatboxing, dance, you name it!
If selected, you’ll perform in a live speed round of Pizza Pieces at AFS Cinema, right after a screening of Color Arc Production’s award-winning short film Pizza My Heart.
Thanks to Austin PBS, our distribution partner and presenting station, Pizza My Heart is now streaming nationwide on the PBS app!
