The 24-Hour Playwriting Project — November 16

The perennial favorite bucket list event known as The 24-Hour Playwriting project is back for Season 16!  The theme for this season is once-again a well-guarded secret, as are the handicaps, props, and other requirements given to the playwrights at the absolute last minute. Playwrights will be assigned a theme, a director, and actors. Within just 24 hours, you will see the fruits of their labor when we present all of their short plays to be judged by a panel of area theater and arts professionals.   A hugely popular event! Included in your season pass upon request. 

One performance onlyNovember 16th 

The 24-Hour Playwriting Project is sponsored by Stacy Lee-Williams.

June returns home in an attempt to make amends with her family after her brother is shot by a police officer. But when her family refuses to make a statement, and her personal beliefs are questioned, suddenly June is forced into the spotlight and must decide which is more important: making amends with her family or standing up for her brother’s life.
