The second project is that he will be writing for Available Light Theatre’s upcoming 24 HOUR THEATRE here in Columbus. 6 writers, 6 directors, and 22 actors are gathering for 24 hours to create a night of new plays to be staged November 8, 2014 at 8pm.24 Hour Theatre is the drag racing of the theatre world. It’s short, furiously intense, and something might explode.

Thirty artists, spanning the breadth of the Columbus theatre community, will create six brand-new short plays in just 24 hours. Starting at 8pm on Friday night, names are drawn, teams created, plays written over night, and rehearsals completed in 8 hours, all in time for opening night at 8pm on Saturday.
