Funky Little Theater Company to Host 24SEVEN Theatre Project

24SEVEN is a 24-hour theatre project in the ever-blossoming theatre scene in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The process entails enlisting SEVEN talented playwrights to create SEVEN brand new short plays within the allotted time the night before we produce them. They are given specific writing prompts to incorporate into their new works. Then, early the next morning SEVEN visionary directors show up to read the scripts and cast them with TWENTFOUR handpicked actors. The actors show up a couple hours later and rehearse the day away culminating in a ONE TIME ONLY performance of all SEVEN short plays. That's it! History has been made. Never again will all these amazing playwrights, directors and actors (and crew!) be in the same place doing the same thing.

24SEVEN's culminating production of all SEVEN short plays will begin at 7:36pm on Saturday, January 9, 2016. Tickets are $15 and available at the door or on our website. Funky Little Theater Company accepts cash, checks and most major credit cards. 24SEVEN will be at Funky Little Theater Company at 2109 Templeton Gap Road, Colorado Springs, CO, 80907.

24SEVEN has been privileged over the years to collaborate with playwrights, actors and directors from a wide range of experience levels and ages. 24SEVEN loves to offer the opportunity to mix all the local talent with those that have ties to Colorado and the Springs.
