The 24-Hour New Play Workshop takes place over the course of 24-hours, where participants are carefully placed into teams with the task of creating a brand new play, to be performed at the end of the 24-hours. Teams consist of one writer, one director, and two actors who will be collaborating together to create a brand-new short play, from brainstorming to rehearsal to production. Throughout our time together, teams will be thrown “curveballs” to provide creative challenges, guidance and more opportunities to collaborate in making something awesome. As a culmination, the new plays YOU create will be performed at the end of the creating period!

Director - We are inviting directors who have directed for NPW before, have taken the directing class, or who are interested in taking a stab at directing!

Writer - We are inviting writers who have written for NPW before, have written for PALR, or have written something else that we have seen and approved (send something our way!).

Actor - We are inviting actors who have acted for NPW before or would like to act for NPW now!  All are welcome!

Helper - We are inviting other people who want to hang out with the producers to assist us in running this thing well! This position is ideal for people who want to participate and be involved but can’t commit the full 24 hours (or, people who can be there the whole time but would rather not be an actor, director or writer). This role is very important and we need good helpers!
