The George Cope 24-Hour Playwriting Festival
Audition
Friday, February 28 at 7:00 pm
Performance:
Saturday, March 1 at 8:00 pm (YES! 24 HOURS LATER!!)
Starting at 7pm, six playwrights will select their casts and then work overnight to create 6 original 10-minute plays. By morning, the plays will be delivered to directors who will then begin rehearsals with their casts. At 8pm, ready or not, the shows will go on (scripts-in-hand is fine). Join us for the creative results. It’s sure to be a fun night for everyone!
About the Festival
We are compressing the whole process of writing, rehearsing, and performing 6 plays into 24 hours. After the Friday night auditions, the writers will write overnight the seven plays. Directors will start rehearsals Saturday morning full throttle, speeding to the performance 12 hours later! The Good News: Tech week will now be Tech 45 minutes! The Bad News: This crazy feat of creation will be over in about 24 hours (except for the after party, of course)! Please note, these performances will be script in hand…no memorization is expected!
See you and your prop on February 28 at 7:00
