This year, The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway will honor the inaugural 2007 class of The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals with The 24 Hour Plays Creative Community Award. The event co-chairs are 2007 alumni Sherri Eden Barber and Josh Koenigsberg. The full inaugural class and honorees is available here.

"The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals program has become the lifeblood of our organization, growing to include over 500 alumni over 13 summers and it all started with this extraordinary group," said The 24 Hour Plays artistic director Mark Armstrong and managing director Madelyn Paquette. "The inaugural class of 2007 planted a seed that grew into something beyond our wildest dreams, demonstrating how creative communities rise together, a pillar of our mission in all of our work at The 24 Hour Plays. Year 24 is a big one for The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway, so we decided to go big with our honoree list too."

Each production of The 24 Hour Plays kicks off the night before, when artists and production staff gather for a "meet and greet" to get acquainted and generate inspiration for the show. Writers create new short plays overnight, with actors and directors receiving their scripts early in the morning. After a whirlwind day of rehearsals, the curtain rises on six brand new plays performed for a spectacular one night only event.

Tickets for The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway begin at $50 and are available at 24hourplays.org/broadway-2024/.
