In just 24 hours, the creators of The 24 Hour Plays produce original plays and musicals and have done so for over 25 years.

The 24 Hour Plays: Viral Monologues is an example of the creative turnaround and sheer resilience that the theatre community demonstrates during the shutdown. Watch as members of The 24 Hour Plays family share how the Viral Monologues came to be, how their development shares many similarities to its previous programming, and what challenges and changes they’ve experienced.
