Real. Fast. Theater. An entire theater festival created in just 24 hours, the wildly successful 24/7 returns for its fourth year!



Here’s how it works: The participants gather on a Friday evening. A theme for the festival is pulled from a hat. Then 7 playwrights spend all night writing 10-minute plays based on this theme. On Saturday morning, directors and actors arrive; casts are picked blindly from the same hat, and rehearsals begin. On Saturday evening, 7 new plays are premiered in a show that couldn’t be fresher, or more fun!
