On October 23, 2023, distinguished artists from the New York entertainment community and beyond will come together at Town Hall for the annual production of The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway. This one-night-only event honors playwright and screenwriter Warren Leight, a longtime supporter of the organization
Since 1995, The 24 Hour Plays have brought creative communities together to write, rehearse and perform new plays and musicals in 24 hours. The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway is our annual flagship event where stars from theater, film and television write and perform new work that speaks to our current moment on a Broadway stage. Since 2001, we’ve gathered the Arts & Entertainment community for one night only to showcase great artists in new ways, spark enduring creative partnerships, and share a live experience unlike any other. Proceeds from The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway support our non-profit activities throughout the year, including education programming with students from middle school to college, professional development for emerging artists in The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals, our free Viral Monologues series, and our partner productions all around the world.
