24-Hour Playwriting Festival Presents Final Performance at Playhouse on Park, 8/4

By:

What happens when you put a bunch of playwrights, directors, and actors in a room and tell them in 24 hours they must write a script and put on a show? Local playwrights will write one act scripts overnight, directors and actors will rehearse all day, concluding with costumed and staged performances in the evening! Attend the production to experience the magic of the theatre. The final performance will take place on Saturday, August 4th at 8:00pm at Playhouse on Park, 244 Park Road, West Hartford, Conn.

Tickets are $10, general admission. BYOB Tickets can be purchased in person, over the phone at 860-523-5900 ext 10 or online at www.PlayhouseOnPark.org.

Playwrights, directors and actors needed, please contact the theatre to sign up.

The 24-Hour Playwriting Festival is part of the Hot Summer Nights series occurring at Playhouse on Park from August 3rd through the 11th. Each event is $10, or you can purchase a pass to attend all eight events for $40.
