24 Hour New Play Challenge - 2016

See more pictures by Andrew Hill of Middletown Creative here.


Be creative.

24 hours, 18 actors, seven writers, six directors, one night of original theater. This is creativity at its best! We created six brand-new pieces of theater in just one day. A fairy tale melodrama, a creepy murder mystery, a beautiful Western, a horror with nuns, a jailhouse romance and a science fiction adventure (with a little music thrown in for good measure). We've got it all. 

April 29th - 30th, 2016

Each piece must include the following:

Prop: A key
Line of dialogue: "Does this look right to you?"
