The 24 Hour Plays is set to return to Los Angeles March 10 at 7:00 PM at The Hudson Theaters. Established in 1995, the event brings together a group of artists to produce theatrical works which are written, rehearsed, and performed in 24 hours.
Actors slated to participate in this year's L.A. show will include Nate Corddry (Sugar), Mary Faber (Parks and Recreation), Tawny Newsome (Space Force), Vico Ortiz (Our Flag Means Death), Lennon Parham (Playing House), Shannon Purser (Stranger Things), Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day), Rich Sommer (Mad Men), Jessica St. Clair (Best Friends Forever), and Lio Tipton (Love Hurts).
Writers will include Jonathan Caren (We Were the Lucky Ones) and Dan O’Brien (The Body of An American). Directors will include Sabrina Jaglom (Jane), Kate Sullivan (The End of the Party) and Courtney Ulrich (Nonna’s Nude).
Additional artists will be announced at a later date.
“As an L.A. native, I’ve never seen heartbreak across the city like I have this past month following the fires,” producer Serena Berman said in a statement. “Finding physical spaces to come together at times like these can be incredibly healing, and it’s central to our mission at The 24 Hour Plays.”
A portion of the proceeds from this year's event will be directed to relief efforts for families affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, in partnership with Nefesh LA and their Fire Relief Fund.
