The award-winning Infamous Commonwealth Theatre presents the fourth annual ICT 24 Hour Project, a collection of four short plays written, rehearsed and performed within a strict 24 hour timeframe.
 
The project begins promptly on Friday, January 9 at 8pm. Four playwrights will each be shown a specific definition of the word Nature - ICT's '08-09 season topic. Each of the four playwrights have until 8am the following morning to write a short play inspired by the definition they are given. In the remaining 12 hours, four musicians compose a short piece of original music to precede each play while directors and actors rehearse the play they are assigned.    
 
On Saturday, January 10 at 8pm, the project culminates in a one-time-only, must-see performance of world premiere plays before a live audience. The entire project takes place within the confines of the Vittum Theater at 1012 N. Noble St., Chicago.
