Untitled Theater’s 24/7 Festival

The Untitled Theater’s 24/7 Festival consists of one-act plays created within a day. The writers start writing at 10pm the night before, and rehearsals begin at 9am of that day. Each day has a theme, and they are all part of Untitled Theater Co. #61’s mission to present a modern theater of the absurd.

Some useful definitions: Found text plays are comprised in whole or in large part from existing text. Transvestite melodramas deal with the theme of one gender interpreting another. The NeuroFest features neurological conditions, from aphasia to savantism to Tourette’s Syndrome — many of the topics that one might see in a book by Oliver Sacks. And the political protest plays will follow in the political protest tradition of Brecht, Havel, and even Michael Moore. A full schedule is listed below:
