Would you ever think it possible for a play to be written, casted, staged, worked, and memorized in only 24 hours? What about SIX plays? Well, if you think that's absurd, you can witness the impossible at Washburn's Neese Gray Theater on March 14, 2026!
Six playwrights, six directors, and 24 actors will come together and create a piece of theater in only 24 hours, then perform those pieces for a live audience. Come see these brand new, never before viewed plays formed under the most exquisite pressure you can imagine!
Hosted by Lil Miss Kansass and featuring theatre artists of every caliber, you can count on an evening of interesting, enthralling, and entertaining fun.
Admission cost: Donate what you can!
The 24 Hour Plays is hosted by ARTS Inc in conjunction with Washburn University.
