I have an idea for the 24-Hour Play Festivals that, I feel, would be AMAZING!
For those who don’t know what the 24-Hour Play Festival is: It is a series of small plays that are written, directed, and rehearsed within 24 hours. Example: A group of people meet at 8pm on a friday to assign writers, directors, and actors into small groups. The script is written from about 9-10pm Friday until 4-5am Saturday. From 9am till 7~ish pm, the directors help the actors rehearse, and the plays are performed starting at 8pm Saturday!
Anyway, my idea…
Perform the 24-play as usual. Once done with the performance, and everyone has showered: the writers become directors or actors, and the actors/directors become writers. The ol’ switcheroo to accommodate those who can’t stay up for more than 40 hours (rare situation which occurs when a writer also wants to direct). By 8pm the next day, ANOTHER PERFORMANCE!!! YAY! And then repeat the process for about a week or so. ^_^
