Montblanc and Urban Arts Partnership presented the 4th annual production of 24 Hour Plays in Los Angeles at the Broad Stage Theater in Santa Monica.
The production included a notable cast including Alanis Morissette, Gavin Rossdale, Kelly Osbourne, Wilmer Valderrama, Jamie Chung, Bryan Greenberg, Abbie Cornish, Jason Ritter, Michelle Trachtenberg, Michael Ealy, Seth Green, Rosie Perez, Ashley Madekwe, Tracie Thoms, Adam Pally, Alicia Witt, Andra Day, Ashley Fink, Constance Zimmer, Danny Pudi, John Cho, Ramon Rodriguez and Retta.
The creative process of The 24 Hour Plays in Los Angeles began at 10 p.m. on Thursday, June 19, 2014 when six writers, six directors, twenty-four actors, and a dedicated production team met at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica. After the community of artists shared a costume, a prop, and a special skills set, each writer composed a ten-minute play by 7 a.m. the following morning. By 9 a.m. directors selected their script and their cast rehearsed over the course of the day. At 8 p.m., ink barely dry, the six new plays were performed before a live audience.
Following the performances the casts let loose with an after-party at The Shore Hotel with karaoke and made moves on the dance floor. Key actors that had bonded through the 24 Hour Plays process were seen taking selfies with one-another and parties into the late evening hours with key actors hitting the dance floor together.
