PAST PRODUCTION:
Tenth Annual 24-Hour Play Project
January 8, 2011
8:00 PM
 More than 40 actors, directors and playwrights perform feats of indescribable proportion, as 6 new, short plays are written, rehearsed, and propelled onto the stage. The catch? They only have 24 hours to do it!

Performance Location:
Anne Simley Theatre
Hamline University
1536 Hewitt Avenue
Saint Paul, MN 55104
Process:
We invite the general public to vote among ingredients such as a line of dialog, an emotion, a prop, or a stage direction. On Friday evening at 9:00 pm, we reveal the winning ingredients to six teams of two playwrights, who must include all the ingredients in their scripts. At 6:00 on Saturday morning, the newly written plays are assigned directors, a cast, and rehearsal time. Rehearsals are conducted throughout the day - technical rehearsals skid to a halt just in time for the doors to open. Performances start at 8:00 PM!
