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. 

Artists scheduled to participate include actors Ben Ahlers (“The Gilded Age”), Abubakr Ali (A House of Dynamite), Gregg Bello (Noah), David Burtka (God of Carnage), Asia Kate Dillon (“Billions”), Olli Haaskivi (Oppenheimer), David Hull (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”), Morgan Siobhan Green (Hadestown), Josh Hamilton (The Long Walk), Fred Hechinger (Gladiator II), Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid), Andrew McCarthy (Pretty in Pink), Emma Ramos (“New Amsterdam”), Faith Salie (Approval Junkie), Jen Tullock (“Severance”), and Kirsten Vangsness (“Criminal Minds”) and Jaboukie Young-White (The Threesome); writers Courtney Baron (When It’s You), Keith Bunin (The Coast Starlight), Natalie Margolin (All Nighter) and Jonathan Marc Sherman (The Connector); and directors Isaac Butler (Real Enemies), Carolyn Cantor (Sell/Buy/Date), Ryan Dobrin (Slanted Floors), Victor Malana Maog (Her Portmanteau), Pippin Parker (Betrayed) and Leigh Silverman (Yellow Face); with musical guest Jonathan Coulton and friends.

Many more artists will be announced soon!
