Untitled Theater's 24/7 Festival
A week-long festival of one act plays, all created in a day!
Untitled Theater's 24/7 Festival consists of a week straight of plays created in a day!
The writers start writing at 10pm the night before, and rehearsals begin at 9am
of that day. Each day has a theme, and they are all part of Untitled Theater Company
#61's mission to present a modern theater of the absurd.
Some useful definitions: "Found Text" plays are comprised in whole or in large part
from existing text. "Transvestite Melodramas" deal with the theme of one gender
interpreting another. The "Mini-NeuroFest" features neurological conditions, from aphasia
to savantism to Tourette's Syndrome -- many of the topics that one might see in a
book by Oliver Sacks. And the "Protest Plays" will follow in the political
protest tradition of Brecht, Havel, and even Michael Moore. A full schedule is
listed below:
