23.5-HOUR PLAY CREATION AND PERFORMANCE (A JUBILEE)
This Festival last occurred April 2018. The first two years we produced the event, we called it "Bard Theatre's 24-Hour Play Festival." Prior to the 2018 festival, we were contacted by the "24 Hour Plays" company, who informed us that we either needed to change the name of our festival or pay for a license to continue using the name. We considered noting that, due to our use of a hyphen, our festival was one that took place over 24 hours, and that while their idea of producing 24 plays that are each an hour long (hyphens actually do make a difference) DID sound intriguing, that seemed a bit much for us. Instead, we created an even greater challenge for our artists and stole 30 minutes from their allotted time, and decided our event was so fun it could only be properly described as a "jubilee."
