24 Hour Theater Festival is a project which features 6 - 10 short plays which have been completely written, directed, and rehearsed within 24 hours.

### HOW DOES IT WORK? ###

At 8:00 pm the night before the performance, the WRITERS get together, and, in each other's company, write drafts of short, new plays. Plays can be in any language. When we finish, we read and discuss the plays, then help each other edit them. At 9:00 am the following morning, we meet with the DIRECTORS and ACTORS. The scripts are printed and ready to work on. We spend time reading the scripts, then we assign scripts to DIRECTORS. We quickly cast the pieces using the ACTORS available, giving everybody an equal chance to perform. During the day, we stage and rehearse the plays, as well as collect any props or costumes that we want to use. Then in the evening we complete the tech and have a full dress rehearsal of the pieces. Then, at 8:00 in the evening, we perform the pieces for the audience, exactly 24 hours after we started.
