  • 1.  24 Hour Play Fest

    Anyone have schedules, themes, specs, details of how to run a 24 Hour Play Fest? 
    Posted a couple weeks ago, but my one connection never got back to me.

    We have hosted a play in a day festival for the last 3 years. Let me know if you have questions but here are some documents that might help. If anything doesn't make sense in there, feel free to ask about it. We do ours instead of a late spring show because of testing chaos in the last nine weeks. 

    Flyers sent to teachers & students at other schools: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZbNhtb1ydlsOEoJUncSVfXAD38SeIWqEaocaQMTZ3rY/edit?usp=sharing

    Day of event rules, roles, cue sheets,... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_xmlBcqEqhnVdHCapo3O5DrQ2q19OTAFUBmaAenwUoY/edit?usp=sharing

    This is great! The rules link doesn't seem to be working. Do you think you might re-link that? Thanks!

    Both links should work now. Not sure why the second one was dead but I reset it.

    I've done this a few times with my own school.  I'll try and attach a word doc here with my timeline.  It's a lot of fun! Caveat:  I give students the theme/stimulus on Friday afternoon and the writing teams go home and write.  This way I get to have a good night's sleep ;)
