THE 24-HOUR SHOW

ONE JUKEBOX MUSICAL: WRITTEN, BLOCKED, MEMORIZED, AND TECH-ED IN 24 HOURS

JANUARY 30TH - 31ST

Every year during winter quarter, Students' Stage puts on a 24-hour show. This show allows our club members to collaborate and put their theatre skills to the test. Within a 24 hour period, the production team, cast, and crew work together to write, design, block, memorize, and perform a full (typically 40-50 minute) show. We know how busy some of our club members are, and the 24-hour show is an amazing opportunity that allows everyone to hone their skills, create lasting bonds, and have a lot of fun without the time commitment of a full-length produced piece. Last year, as a club, we did something a little different. We put on a jukebox musical for our 24-hour show. After how many people enjoyed it, we will be putting on another jukebox musical 24-hour show this year!
