I had a TON of fun with the 3rd Annual Alpha Psi Omega (AYO) Show in 24 Hours, although this one was technically 22 hours.
Here's how the whole thing works:
6pm - Reunion Dinner - dinner and a good time to see all the AYO alumni and time to catch up.
8pm - Convene at the venue location (this time the Little Theatre) and discuss casting. Each actor discusses what they have available for props and costumes. After this the director and writer(s) of each team (3 teams this year) decide who they will take for actors.
8pm - 7am - set, lighting and sound designs are made. set is built and lights are hung.
6:30 am - scripts are due
7am - actors due to the stage to begin work with directors
7am - 12pm - work with directors on readthrough, lines and staging
12pm - 12:30pm LUNCH
12:30pm - 3pm - Stage time
3pm - 5pm - Tech time
5:30pm House opens
6pm ***Show goes up***
7pm Show ends
7:15pm Strike begins
8:00pm Strike ends
All in all a very challenging thing to do. Learning lines in the span of 10 hours is a very intense experience. I certainly can't wait until next year.
