Woman's Will 24 Hour Playfest April 6, 2009


For the past three years I've participated in the Woman's Will 24 Hour Playfest, but unfortunately due to an out-of-state trip I'll not be one of the playwrights writing a brand new 10 minute play overnight.



Here's how the playfest works:
  • The artists (playwrights, directors, and actors) meet at 10 pm at the Julia Morgan Theatre where and when they are given their theme. (You see you have no idea what you'll be writing about prior to the event).
  • The playwrights have until 7 am the next morning to finish their script and email it in. Around 10 am the directors and the actors meet and begin rehearsal.
  • The actors must be off book and have all their blocking down by 8 pm when the show begins.
It's a fantastic experience as a writer and always fun to meet other artists. And the ticket sales and silent auction benefit Woman's Will Theatre.
