24-Hour Theatre Project
January 30, 2012
With only 24 hours, five groups of writers, directors, stage managers, and actors set off creating separate unique theatrical performances. The second annual 24-Hour Theatre Project, organized by Helen Thomas, started Friday, January 27, 2012 at 7:30pm. Following the opening ceremony writers immediately started rough drafts which were due at 2:00am, final drafts were due at 6:00am. Directors and stage managers meet with their respective actors Saturday morning to refine the scripts. Throughout the day lighting and sound had to be coordinated for each play. Actors spent the rest of the day refining their roles and memorizing lines before the final performance at 7:30pm.
