The 24 Hour Plays Hit Little Rock!
If you know anything about my wife, Ashlie Atkinson, you know that she doesn’t sit still for anything. Even when her whole industry goes on strike.
So when she discovered that her home town of Little Rock, Arkansas had never hosted a production of The 24 Hour Plays, she jumped into action.
Now, with the help of her co-producers (and fellow Arkansans) Wyatt Hamilton and DeLance Minefee, the 24 Hour Plays Little Rock will make its world debut for one night only, on July 31st, in the building where lil’ Ashlie first got her start: the Arkansas Repertory Theatre.
Founded in 1995 by Mark Armstrong, the 24 Hour Plays is an event in which writers, performers, and a myriad of support staff gather to write, rehearse, and perform multiple short plays—literally within 24 hours. Ashlie has appeared as an actor in several of their past productions, all staged in New York City.
For the Little Rock production, six writers, six directors and 24 actors are coming together to create six original plays, all to be conceived and executed within a 24-hour period.
The 24 Hour Plays will hit the stage July 31st, 7pm, at Little Rock’s Arkansas Repertory Theatre. All net proceeds from the event will be donated to the American Red Cross for regional tornado relief.
VAMP!
I recently had the honor of filming the queer drag collective Switch n’ Play as they performed their “Vamp!” show in the Atrium at Lincoln Center.
This incredibly talented group has come a long way from their origins in the back room at Branded Saloon in Brooklyn. Here’s the one and only Sasha Velour doing, well… you’ll see.
