Vermont Theatre Company is seeking actors for its first ever 24-Hour Play Festival, which will be performed Saturday, April 27, at the Evening Star Grange in Dummerston. Four short plays will be written, cast, rehearsed, and performed within a 24-hour period.
"24-hour plays are a fun, fast, and intense way to create theater," note organizers in a news release. Actors will audition for a group of writers and directors on Friday, April 26, at 6 p.m. at the Grange. Writers will then each write a 10–20 minute play overnight. Actors will return to the Grange the next morning, rehearse their play over the course of the day, and give one performance that evening.
Actors of any age, type, or level of experience are encouraged to participate. All actors who choose to participate will be cast. If interested, visit vermonttheatre.org/auditions and fill out the audition form.
The writers for this year's festival will be Jesse Tidd, Michael Nethercott, Jessica Callahan Gelter, and James Gelter. Their plays will be directed by Ben Stockman, Charlene Kennedy, Shannon Ward, and Isaiah LaPierre, respectively.
Vermont Theatre Company is a nonprofit community theater that has provided Brattleboro-area artists and audiences opportunities to enjoy theater for 40 years. For more information, visit vermonttheatre.org.
