Collab24 24-Hour Devised Theatre Festival to Be Held This Month at Greenhouse Theater Center

Collab24 is a 24-hour devised theatre festival seeking to bring together artists of all disciplines to strengthen our artistic community through a shared process of creating and presenting devised theatre. In our third year, three groups will devise a production over a collective 24 hours throughout the course of a week. Their original theatrical pieces will be created around surprise prompts that relate to this year's unique theme-Deconstructing Reconstructing: Sound, Rhythm, and Activism.

The event will feature three directors local to Chicago (Miranda Cole, Kat Phillips, and Grant Landau-Williams), along with makers from the Chicagoland area! (2023 Makers: Nathan Crawford, Rachel Herriges, Mitch Karmis, Camellia Lee, Kelsey Rich, Garrett Sweere, Aidan Tappert)

In solidarity with striking colleagues, this year's festival will have in-person performances only. Shows are October 20th at 7:30 PM; October 21st at 2:30 and 7:30 PM; and October 22nd at 2:30 PM. (Sunday's closing performance will be followed by a short awards ceremony for our makers.)

All shows will take place at Greenhouse Theater Center, located at 2257 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614. For those not based in Chicago, there will be opportunities to "Collab on Your Own" at home via social media throughout the festival's run!

Performances are Friday, October 20 at 7:30 PM CDT; Saturday, October 21 at 2:30 PM/ 7:30 PM; Sunday, October 22 at 2:30 PM. Tickets are $17 and can be purchased at the link below.
