spotted this in Essence

This month, Suzan-Lori Parks, the talent behind 2002's Pulitzer Prize-sinning Topdog/Underdog, is staging 365 Days/365 Plays, a series she created by writing a one-act play every day for a year. The works range from a vingette featuring a woman running across the stage and licking a man's check (aptly titled Lickety-Split) to others dealing with the war in Iraq. Beginning November 13, the series will be staged at 800 theaters across the country and is free to the public. "This project is not about the cash box," says Parks. "It's about connecting communities."
Though the national website, 365days365plays.com, won't go live for a few weeks, there are sites for the New York, Chicago, Colorado, Seattle, LA, and San Francisco performances, and the book will be published in November (please buy it from your local bookseller!). You can also E-mail 365plays@gmail.com for more info.
