24 Hour Plays on Broadway Set for American Airlines Theatre November 15

The 10th annual 24 Hour Plays on Broadway will be presented at the American Airlines Theatre on Monday, November 15. Proceeds will benefit Urban Arts Partnership.

The program will feature some of entertainment’s biggest names as they write, direct, and perform six original short plays, all in just 24 hours! Participants will be announced at a later date.

The creative process will begin at 10pm on Sunday, November 14 – the night before the show – when a group of six writers, six directors, 24 actors, two musical guests, and a production staff gather at the American Airlines Theatre. After each of the cast members share a costume, prop and their stage desires– each writer is tasked with composing a ten-minute play by 7am the following morning, when the directors return to read and select their piece. The casts will meet for the first time at 8am and, over the next 12 hours the plays are rehearsed and produced for a live presentation. At 8pm, the six new plays – interspersed with six musical acts – will be performed for a live audience.
