The Scoundrel & Scamp’s 24/7 Play Festival is a celebration of the theatrical creative process!

On Friday night, August 11th, at 10:00 PM, seven playwrights will be given a common prompt for plays (a starting line, a prop, a situation) and the gender/age compositions of their assigned cast. Their coffee cups will be filled and they will be given the directive that they can leave the writing chambers only when handing over a completed 10-minute play — or the arrival of 6:00 AM, whichever comes first.

On Saturday morning, August 12th, at 8:00 AM, the other artists — 7 directors and 14+ actors — arrive to discover their new scripts, roles, and assignments.

At noon, we’ll begin the tech process.

Performances will then take place at 7:00 and 9:00 PM!

At the conclusion of the festival, a mini-awards ceremony will be held to celebrate the audiences’ and artists’ favorites.

For Scoundrels 18+
