The creative process will begin at 10pm 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, their special skills and 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 9am 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.
