14/48: The World's Quickest Theater Festival
The Summer 2011 14/48 will have all female actors, directors, playwrights and musicians July 22-23 and will feature all male artists the second weekend July 29-30.
After 14 years, hundreds of artists, countless kegs of beer and more than 700 plays, the inspiration for the Summer 2011 14/48 Festival came from where all great ideas originate: a Facebook status update. 14/48 acting and band veteran Alyssa Keene posted that she was thrilled to be in a room with so many talented actresses, but saddened that they were all competing for the same role. 14/48 took that as an opportunity to try the festival in a brand new way.
14/48 -- the world's quickest theater festival -- is 14 plays conceived, written, designed, scored, rehearsed and performed in 48 hours. The combination of deadline, talent, speed, nerves and genius inspiration serve to strip away the creative inhibitions from more traditional theater, proving that, contrary to popular opinion, sometimes the first idea is the best. 14/48 involves more than 75 artists per weekend. Artistic participation is by invitation only and is predicated on the most rigorous professional standards.
Our dedicated audience accepts the possibility of failure and often is rewarded with miraculous success. Either way, they are provided with an unique insight into the creation of exciting performance art.
