The Greenville Little Theatre (GLT) is excited to announce it's 9th annual 24 Hour Play Festival, a much anticipated favorite for anyone who loves to see creative genius at work!

Local writers, directors, actors, stage managers, and technicians will write, stage and perform 3 short plays, all within 24 hours.

"The 24 Hour Play Festival provides an amazing experience for everyone involved because it distills our art form of play-creating down to only 24 hours." says Emily Grove, Director of the 24 Hour Play Festival. "Instead of having weeks and months to rewrite, rehearse, and prepare, we only have hours and minutes."

GLT's 24 Hour Play Festival has earned a reputation for it's hilarious and exhilarating performances over the past 9 years. One play performed will be selected as the winner based on votes cast by audience members. The night is completed with a set by Laughing Stock Improv, a popular comedy troupe that performs regularly at the Coffee Underground in Downtown Greenville.

"Any fan of comedy will want to be a part of this. The day is a wild ride, not only for the writers, actors, directors, stage managers, and designers, but for the audience, too" adds Grove. "Will we be able to pull it off? We're not even sure that we can do it, but we'll hold on for dear life!"

Tickets are $15, available on line or at the door on February 10, 2018 at 8pm.
