The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway, which is presented each year by The 24 Hour Company, will be brought to life on Monday, October 22 at the American Airlines Theatre. The proceeds to this event will benefit Working Playground which is an organization that brings arts education into New York City classrooms and is truly a worthwhile program to be supporting since it is the youth of this country who will keep the world of the performing arts alive into the future.
This annual benefit event brings together Broadway?s biggest names in playwriting and acting to participate in this extreme live performance event wherein these performers join together to write, dri4ect and perform six original short plays - with just 24 hours to go from concept to writing to staging to rehearsing to finally performing. This is an impressive task for any actor, no matter how seasoned, but the rush of the immediacy is thrilling above all else and so the performers keep coming back year after year.
This year’s company members will include actors like Elizabeth Berkley, Billy Crudup, David Cross, Rachel Dratch, Michael Easy, Mamie Gummer, Matthew Lillard, Anthony Mackie, Janel Maloney, Rosie Perez, Fisher Stevens, Julia Stiles, Lili Taylor, Marlo Thomas and Kerry Washington among others and you know that you are not going to want to miss out on this impressive line-up if you have the chance to see the 24 Hour Plays live!
