ABOUT THE SHOW
A 24-Hour Play Festival features plays that were written, rehearsed, and performed all within 24 hours! Since 7:30PM last night, the performance teams have worked to create the plays you are about to experience.
This festival’s theme is Winter Holidays. Playwrights were told to write about any holiday occurring between Thanksgiving and New Years. Playwrights also had to pick a specific genre of play. Today’s plays feature the following genres:
Absurdism | Comedy | Detective | Drama | Fantasy | Thriller | Rom-Com | Shakespearian
