24 Hour Play Festival

Saturday May 8th
Doors open at 6:30pm
Shows begin at 7pm

Be there to witness and enjoy the world premiere of five 15 minute One Act plays!

Here's how it goes:

Writers begin the 24 hours on Friday May 7th and the performances on Saturday May 8th at 7 pm will close it all out.

At 7 pm on Friday night:
Teams will be randomly assembled 1 writer, 1 director, and random # of actors per team.
The writer for each team will be given the parameters, including the number & gender of actors, then have the next twelve hours (give or take) to write a play.

Saturday morning 10 am:
Playwrights arrive with completed scripts.
The playwrights and the directors will have 15 minutes to talk amongst themselves.
Then the directors will take their actors and the scripts and do the rest of the work block, costume, memorize parts, that sort of thing. Dress rehearsals will take place around 4 pm.

Saturday 7 pm:
A paying audience has filled the chairs; the actors begin the performances, while the directors and playwrights hold their breath.

After all the shows are performed the audience will vote and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief until . . . the awards ceremony WITH prizes!
