24 Hour Plays Performance
You are about to experience a thrilling form of theatre in which new plays are written, cast, rehearsed, and performed in only 24 hours. From high school to Broadway and West End galas, we've seen brilliant new plays created in just one day. These unconventional time constraints create a tremendous amount of energy. Although the actors have had only one day to memorize lines, create characters, and learn their blocking, the plays are performed without scripts in hand.
Anything can happen – you don't want to miss it! * Doors open for seating 30 minutes prior to curtain Location: Buskirk-Chumley Theater |
