The 2nd Annual 24/SEVEN Theater project is a creative process on steroids with a performance of the finished product 24 hours later.
The process includes enlisting seven talented playwrights to create seven brand new short plays within the allotted time the night before they are cast, produced and staged.
Playwrights are given specific prompts to incorporate into their original works. Early the next morning, seven visionary directors read the scripts and cast each play using 17-24 actors.
The actors show up a few hours later and rehearse all day, culminating in a performance of all seven short plays that night. The result is an exciting night of live theatre!
