Each production of The 24 Hour Plays kicks off the night before, when artists and production staff gather for a “meet and greet” to get acquainted and generate inspiration for the show. Writers create new short plays overnight, with actors and directors receiving their scripts early in the morning. After a whirlwind day of rehearsals, the curtain rises on six brand new plays performed for a spectacular one night only event.
