The 24 Hour Plays

In 2026, The 24 Hour Plays are here, there and everywhere! From our recent bespoke Los Angeles evening at Huron Station to The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway in New York, creative communities come together to write, rehearse, and perform plays and musicals in 24 hours. The Nationals, our industry-leading professional development intensive for early-career artists, goes bi-coastal, with cohorts in both New York and Los Angeles, The 24 Hour Musicals return and artists gather from Sacramento to East Hampton, from Denver to Savannah, from Brooklyn to Little Rock for singular evenings of theater.

Your support goes directly toward everything we need to make the magic happen! Our spring annual appeal supports our general operating fund, which pays for critical offstage elements that sustain our nonprofit — things like venue rental fees, insurance policies, marketing and press, equipment rental, software licenses, office overhead and much more. In a time when grant and foundation support has contracted across the field, we need your support more than ever. Help us bring together extraordinary artists in 2026 and beyond by making a tax-deductible donation today!
