| THE 24 HOUR PLAYS: NATIONALS TO OPEN 2021 APPLICATIONS ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24 The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals Offer a Professional Theater Intensive for Artists 25 & Under NEW YORK (March 24, 2021) – Today, The 24 Hour Plays announced that the 10th annual application for The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals will be available starting March 24, 2021 and will run through April 11, 2021. The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals will take place virtually (for the second year in a row) and applicants from everywhere are engaged to apply. The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals are a free, rigorous professional intensive for theatermakers ages 18-25. Over the course of one week, six playwrights, six directors, six producers, twenty-four actors and one composer engage in intensive workshops, panel discussions, and their own virtual productions of The 24 Hour Plays and The 24 Hour Plays: Viral Monologues. Nationals present an opportunity, at no cost, for young artists to meet their peers and build relationships that will serve them throughout their careers. Each year, The 24 Hour Plays seek the very best of the next generation of theatermakers and arm them with what they need to find their way in this business — each other. “The 24 Hour Plays bring together creative communities around the world for transformative experiences," said Mark Armstrong, artistic director for The 24 Hour Plays, “The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals are no different. They have served as a launchpad for so many incredible young artists at the turning point in their professional careers. We’re excited to welcome the next generation of theatermakers to join us virtually this July. For young artists who are especially far-flung from New York City, our 2021 program offers a special opportunity to participate remotely with peers from everywhere in a transcendent experience.” Previous Nationals have featured panel discussions, breakout conversations and workshops with Annie Baker, Jocelyn Bioh, Renee Blinkwolt, Claire Danes, Kristoffer Diaz, Maria Dizzia, Timothy Douglas, Rachel Dratch, Joel Marsh Garland, Lucas Hnath, Julia Jordan, Hansol Jung, Thomas Kail, Karen Kohlhaas, Warren Leight, David Lindsay-Abaire, Aasif Mandvi, Lou Moreno, Bruce Norris, Denis O’Hare, Austin Pendleton, Hubert Point-Du Jour, Max Posner, Adam Rapp, Theresa Rebeck, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Christopher Shinn, Leigh Silverman, Lucy Thurber, Liesl Tommy and many other stage and screen professionals.
