Is it possible to write, direct, rehearse and perform a play in 24 hours?

The 24-hour Play Festival is a celebration of ingenuity, creativity, and collaboration that features the talents, skills, passion and perseverance of University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) students. In just 24-hours, brand new short plays are written, directed, acted, produced, and performed.

Attend the final performance of each play, that was only just created, 24-hours prior! This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience brand new theater, and discover your next favorite playwright, actor, producer, and more.
