Chicago non-profit theater company Nothing Without a Company has announced 24-Hour Fest Volume V, a festival of six new 10-minute plays developed within 24 hours.
The festival is Saturday, Sept. 2, at 7:30 p.m., at Berger Park Cultural Center, 6205 N. Sheridan Rd.
On the evening of Friday, Sept. 1, six playwrights, six directors and 18 actors will be randomly sorted into teams of five. Each team is composed of one writer, one director and three actors, and assigned one location within Berger Park Cultural Center.
The teams devise a new ten-minute play to premiere 24 hours later. Four of the six plays will be performed in the exterior spaces of Berger Park, and two within the South Mansion. The audience will travel throughout Berger Park and experience each performance consecutively.
Tickets are $15 online and "pay-what-you-can" at the door. Reserve a ticket online for guaranteed admission at 24hf.bpt.me .
