EVENTS

This event is independently produced by Touchstone Theatre and is not affiliated with The 24 Hour Plays® organization.

Work together with a group of creative professionals and community artists to create an entirely new and unique performance in the span of 24 hours! When you register you will select which of the four types of participants you would like to be: playwright, director, performer, or tech. Playwrights will be randomly given a genre, a prop, and a line they must include, as well as all of their performers. They will then have from 7pm on Friday night until 7am Saturday morning to write their fantastic 10 minute plays. Directors, performers, and tech will then have from 7am on Saturday until 7pm that night to get their plays up on their feet and ready to share! At 8pm, the show will begin and the audience will get to see a work of masterpiece theatre created in just 24 hours. What fun!

[Image description: Two performers caught in the midst of a movement piece. One, a male presenting performer with white skin and a beard, wearing a yellow beanie, grey long-sleeve shirt, jeans, and glasses, is crouched down in the bottom left corner of the frame. He looks toward the right side of the photo, a stoic expression on his face, his right hand thrust out and around the other performer. This other performer, female presenting performer with dark skin and black hair, wearing a purple blouse and lighter colored jeans, stands in the middle of the photo. She has her right up curled up above her head, her left plunging down to the earth. She looks to the ceiling above her, a wild silly expression on her face, her mouth open wide, showing all of her teeth. Behind them is all black, a stage or perhaps a rehearsal area that is painted all black, including the floor, with black fabric hung to cover specific areas.]
