The 24 Hour Theatre Project is an evening of theater created in 24 hours from concept to production. There is no time to question, stumble or second guess. It takes five playwrights, five directors, and 18 to 22 actors. Every actor arrives in a costume and with a prop of choice, and the playwright takes it from there. The fun is that the plays have zero time for rewrites. It’s up to the director and actors to “make it work,” and somehow they always do!

AUDITIONS

Phoenix Theatre’s 24 Hour Theatre Project is back! 5 Directors, 5 Writers & up to 20 actors create, rehearse, block, memorize, tech and perform off book in just 24 hours. If chosen, the actors show up on the evening of January 26 2019 at Phoenix Theatre in full costume of their choosing along with a hand prop and get randomly selected into groups along with a director & a writer in front of a live audience.
