Linfield Theatre: "The 24 Hour Plays"
The Linfield Theatre season will kick off with the third installment of The 24 Hour Plays, a raucous event that puts students on the clock to make the best art they can, from inception of an idea through production of a performance. On Friday, Sept. 11 at 7:30 p.m. student playwrights, actors, directors and designers will gather to receive a writing prompt that challenges the students to write, rehearse and perform new plays in a 24–hour period. By 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, the theatre doors will open to audiences to come see what the students have created. A second performance will be offered at 9:30 p.m. that night. Admission is free and on a first–come, first–served basis. Some content may not be suitable for all audiences. The 24 Hour Plays®? is presented under a license and with the participation of The 24 Hour Plays®?

Q+A to follow.
The stories of Adam Peterson’s funny, daring, and deliciously outrageous debut ANY TIME BUT THIS TIME span our history and confront our future. From the first woman on Earth grieving among the Neanderthals, to the last man alive nursing the dying flame of love, this collection moves across human history and geography to reveal us at our best and lament our worst. Jesus declares himself a superhero. Lost sailors launch an ill-fated attempt to colonize medieval England. A young woman fights to commandeer the founding of America. A pioneer’s wife satisfies her endless sexual appetite in barren Nebraska. Children hurtle into space to confront alien life—even though they really, really just want love.
