24-Hour Play Festival

 

The 24-Hour Play Festival, sponsored by the CSB/SJU Drama Club, runs from a Friday night to a Saturday night sometime during the spring semester. THIS YEAR’S FESTIVAL WILL TAKE PLACE FROM FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2009 TO SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 2009. Festival participants write, rehearse, and perform plays in literally 24 hours.


Writers collaborate in teams of two on an 8-minute play. The catch is that the writers have just one night to finish their script. They begin at 10:00 p.m. Friday night. At 8:00 a.m. on Saturday morning, the directors and actors frantically begin rehearsing the various scripts, for the show goes on at 9:00 p.m. no matter what! From page to stage, the entire process takes 24 hours. Hence the name.
