Welcome to the Official Star Wars in 30 Minutes website, the show George Lucas calls “extremely funny”, the Los Angeles Times says recalls “the glory days of Second City, if not the earlier funny episodes of Saturday Night Live”, and Variety declares a “smash hit” and “unflailingly imaginative!”

                                               

Born under the guidance of legendary USC Emeritus Professor of Theatre John Blankenchip, Patrick T. Gorman’s Star Wars in 30 Minutes premiered at the 1996 Edinburgh Fringe Festival to extraordinary critical and commercial success.  Since then, the production has travelled this planet (and possibly a couple others, but DEFINITELY not Hoth) including a command performance for Mr. George Lucas himself at Skywalker Ranch.  The production has returned many times to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was also one of the opening productions of the French American Center in Paris. Star Wars in 30 Minutes completed a yearlong successful Los Angeles run at the Coronet Theatre that delighted audiences and wore out the actors. The production has received rave reviews and notice from Variety, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, the Sunday London Times, CNN, BBC, Fox, and many others.
