Pre-registered participants met at 8pm on the night of Saturday, January 12. Playwrights were given casting requirements (number of men/women) for their script, a stimulus (from a fortune cookie…that has to be included in some way in to the script), a director and until 8 o'clock the following morning to write their new play. There were no limitations to what the play could be about, the genre or the format. At 8am the following morning, the director received the script, cast the play from a pool of actors and went straight into rehearsal. The director and actors then had until 8 pm to rehearse, learn lines, collect props/costumes and organize sound and lighting in time for a world premiere of each play, in the auditorium, exactly 24-hours after first meeting.
Nearly seventy students and community members registered to participate, and the public was invited to thefree performance of eleven world premieres on Sunday night.
