The 24 Hour Theatre Project is a fun-filled competition in which teams of 3 to 7 creative individuals compete against others in an exciting devised-theatre challenge. Teams will draw a genre, character/occupation, prop, line of text and be given 24 hours to put it all together! In that time, teams will write and rehearse a brand new, original 7-15 minute play of their own that will make its world premiere at the conclusion of the 24 hours. Recognition will be given to teams for Best Creative Use of Assigned Genre, Prop, Line of Text, Character/Occupation, as well as awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Best Plays Overall. In addition, the audience can contribute to the "People's Choice Award" and help us raise money for Trainwreck Productions and the Dubuque Multicultural Family Center's after-school Drama Club!
The kickoff and drawing begins Friday, August 6th at 5:30 pm. in the lobby of Mindframe Theaters, teams are released at 6:00 p.m. and have until 6:00 p.m. the next day, Saturday, August 7th to write, rehearse, and turn-in their scripts back at the Mindframe Theaters lobby. The performances and awards event with live music will take place that same night at 7:00 p.m.To join or register a team, click here!
