ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The 24 Hour Plays Nationals is a free professional intensive for early-career theater artists. The annual program includes workshops, master classes, panel discussions, career development, community building and more, culminating in a cohort production of The 24 Hour Plays.

Nationals began in 2007 and has gone on to serve nearly 600 actors, directors, playwrights, producers, composers, designers and stage managers. In 2023, we began a partnership with Pace University that continues today. In 2026, the Nationals program expands to Los Angeles for the first time at Stella Adler’s Art of Acting Studios. Alumni of The 24 Hour Plays Nationals are everywhere in the entertainment industry, on and off Broadway, in television and film, in the leadership of theaters here and abroad.

The 24 Hour Plays selects its Nationals participants through an open application process. Eligible participants are 18 or over and no more than seven years out of high school OR four years out of undergraduate or equivalent study. Applications for 2027 will open early next year.
