7th Annual 24 Hour Play Project and Benefit Gala
Hosted by Allegra Lingo
February 8, 2008
Who said Rome wasn’t built in a day?
Over 40 Twin Cities playwrights, directors, and actors dazzle us every year with six new short plays written, rehearsed, and propelled onto the stage. The catch? They only have 24 hours to do it! Eat, drink, bid and marvel as “prominent local artists walk the tightrope of on-the-spot creation” (City Pages).
Back by popular demand: the Theatre Unbound 24-Hour Play Project Ballot! The items that received the most votes became the “ingredients” that playwrights used in the brand-new plays they wrote for our Seventh Annual 24-Hour Play Project and Benefit Gala.
