24 Hour Theater is an experimental performance piece in which the entire process of a theatrical production is condensed into one day. Between the hours of midnight and 9 a.m., four playwrights will each create a 10 to 15 minute play to be performed by three actors. The actors arrive at 10 a.m. to memorize and rehearse the scripts. By noon, costume and set designers, technicians and crew will be sewing, painting, wiring, as time gets short and the energy mounts. The curtain rises at 8:30 p.m. In this experiment, the product is secondary to the creative process. The time frame calls for a level of improvisation, collaboration, and resourcefulness that will encourage spontaneity and creativity in every step of production. All of the artists involved will push the limits of their imaginative and physical stamina to create a public performance of intensity, originality and perhaps mass chaos.

It all happens Saturday May 5th [changed from April 28th] here at the Bluish Barn. Any interested writers, directors, actors, costume and set designers, or general helpers should email onnalyn at gmail dot com.
