About: Star Wars Trilogy in 30 Minutes is the critically-acclaimed, fan-beloved comedy play that reduces the original Star Wars Trilogy to thirty minutes of fast-paced madcap fun.

Playing to packed audiences everywhere from many years at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to a year-long run in Los Angeles to five Star Wars Celebrations, Star Wars Trilogy in 30 Minutes has been called “unfailingly imaginative” by Variety and “extremely funny” by George Lucas himself.

Created by Patrick T. Gorman in 1995 and performed by students at USC’s School of Theatre (Now, the School of Dramatic Arts), Star Wars Trilogy in 30 Minutes had its official world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1996, where it has gone back repeatedly, playing to packed houses every year it’s gone.

The show has been featured at many Star Wars Celebration Conventions, where thrilled audiences often waited hours in line and the production had to add last minute shows due to demand. The show has also been performed all around the world, including a performance for 4,000 people at Comic-Con, a successful yearlong run in Los Angeles at the Coronet Theatre (now Largo), and as one of the opening shows for the French-American Center in Paris.

The play has even been performed for George Lucas, Frank Oz, and JJ Abrams.

George Lucas raved: “It’s a wonderful show” and “I was quite impressed that they were able to find a way to make Star Wars faster and more intense.”

Over the years, the production has received stellar reviews from Variety, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, the Sunday London Times, and many others, and has been featured on CNN, ABC’s Nightline, BBC, and Fox. The Los Angeles Times said the play “recalls the glory days of Second City, if not the earlier, funny episodes of Saturday Night Live” and “the ensemble is a high-octane machine.”

Over twenty-five years on, Star Wars Trilogy in 30 Minutes continues to thrill and delight audiences, getting laughs at hyperspeed – all while saving the universe with wifflesabers.
