4 playwrights.
4 directors.
48-hours to create a masterpiece.

Come bear witness on Sunday, March 26th at 3 PM to Possibilities Theatre Company's first-ever 48-Hour Shakespeare theatre fest!

What is 48-Hour Shakespeare?

The mission begins on Friday, March 24th at 3 P.M.-- when 6 playwrights will receive their prompt for writing a play in just 23 HOURS: what is the prompt? Nobody knows. But we do know one thing: it will be Shakespeare-inspired.

On Saturday, March 25th at 2 P.M., the playwright will bring their COMPLETED PLAY to meet their mystery director. At which point, the playwright and director will have just 1 HOUR to review the play... before meeting the MYSTERY actors. The director and actors will then spend the next 24 hours rehearsing until...

SUNDAY, MARCH 26th AT 3 P.M.-- our artists will present SIX never-before-seen plays to YOU, the audience member!

And your mission? Should you choose to accept it... sit-back, take-in some brand new theatre, and perhaps enjoy a libation or some food!

Tickets are suggested donation $17 a person-- but nobody is ever turned away due to lack of funds. In the event you need to make alternative reservations, please email [email protected] to secure your tickets!

Come enjoy some fast-paced Shakespeare MADNESS with us! We can't wait to see you there!
