3 artists in the Indie Theater Community decided that the 24-hour theater festival was for...

Pansies.

Now: Returning for its golden 5th year, the 47:59 Festival: Writing in Rotation- a fierce race against the clock to write, rehearse and perform six brand new plays in exactly 47 hours and 59 minutes. Each of our six playwrights will write a first act of a new work over the course of one evening. The following morning, the piece is handed off to the director and actors, who rehearse the piece for performance that evening. After the first act comes down - that's when things get really interesting! The playwrights rotate and write the second act of one of their colleague's works from the previous evening. So: two phenomenal nights of theater - created, directed, produced and performed in 47 hours and 59 minutes. 2 great prices: $25 for both nights ($15 for one)! And enough energy drinks chugged to last a lifetime. The 5th Annual 47:59. Centerstage, NY.
