If you’re worried about watching 24 steady hours of theater, no need! It’s not 24 hours of plays, The 24 Hour Plays: Memphis is a performance of 6 short plays created in 24 hours. At 7:00 p.m. on Friday night, the writers, directors, and actors will meet and after that it's a sprint to the finish - the curtain goes up at 7:00 p.m. the next night!
​
Musician and composer Eileen Kuo will perform for the crowd before the show and between the plays. Come early and buy a Hampline Brewing Company beer, a wine or a soda at the bar and we'll have Malco Theatre popcorn and fresh cotton candy made just for you! The audience is invited to join the artists for an informal gathering after the show in the theater space.
​
Don’t miss your chance to see this incredible showcase of Memphis talent! This unique event was sold out its first two years and we are sure that word of this exclusive night of eclectic pieces will draw a big crowd again!
