Soon, student playwrights, directors and actors will push through sleep deprivation and creative challenges to perform and produce one-act plays. University of Toledo students will be assigned based on theater specialty the night before showtime to kick off the 9th Annual 24 Hour Plays. Playwrights will choose two props and then work with local playwright Eric Pfeffinger to craft a quick masterpiece. Actors and directors will then be tasked with quick memorization. Chair and associate Professor of Theatre, Dr. Edmund B. Lingun, describes the process as “an established method for creating plays in 24 hours.” Audience members will witness the unexpected, delightful creations and decide the winner by applause.
