Since 2002, The 24 Hour Plays have brought together creative communities in Los Angeles to make work over the course of a single day. On March 18th, 2024 we returned to The Hudson Theatres for a sold-out performance! Distinguished artists from the LA entertainment community came together for one night only to create six brand new short plays written, rehearsed and performed in just 24 hours.
