SINCE 2001, stars from Broadway, film and TV have gathered to write, rehearse and perform new plays in 24 hours. Extraordinary artists race the clock, forge enduring creative partnerships and leave everything on the stage in a singular evening of live theater.
Proceeds from The 24 Hour Plays support our non-profit activities throughout the year, including education programming with students from middle school to college, professional development for emerging artists through The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals, and our partner productions all around the world.

Attendees enjoy a bar experience inspired by Both Sides of the Glass, the new cocktail book from David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris. Both the performance and the cast/VIP afterparty will include elevated cocktails and mocktails that are smart and surprising — so everyone can raise a glass to The 24 Hour Plays.
