ABOUT 24 HOUR PLAYS
The 24 Hour Plays® was established in 1995 by Mark Armstrong, Artistic Director. Their events include The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway and The 24 Hour Musicals as well as productions from London to Los Angeles, Dublin to Minneapolis, Finland to Mexico, and more. Since March 2020, The 24 Hour Plays: Viral Monologues have generated six hundred new free-to-view theater pieces featuring over a thousand artists that have been viewed millions of times and are now archived in the Library of Congress. Each summer, they bring together early-career actors, directors, playwrights, producers, and composers for a free, professional intensive culminating in their own production of The 24 Hour Plays in an Off-Broadway theater. Over eleven years, The 24 Hour Plays Nationals have introduced audiences and collaborators to a generation of artists changing the game in theater, television, and film. The 24 Hour Plays are an enduring New York City institution, while licensed affiliates and partners, such as ARTS, Inc., produce The 24 Hour Plays and Musicals in theaters and schools worldwide, impacting everyone from celebrities to students.
As the longest-running play in Topeka theater history,
Dale Easton's The Drunkard
returned in June for 3 Saturday evening shows.
Watch for Summer 2025 performances!
