Since 1997, 14/48: The World’s Quickest Theater Festival has challenged Seattle’s most daring theater artists to write, cast, design, direct, score, rehearse, and perform 14 world-premiere plays in 48 hours, dazzling audiences every time. Each weekend, artists gather on Thursday night. Writers are given a theme and write a play on that theme by the next morning. Directors are chosen at random, the plays are cast at random, musicians arrive and form a brand new band. Friday night, they present 7 world-premiere plays–never seen before, never seen again, impossible to forget–and then ask the audience for a new theme so the whole process can start again. Tickets: $20 adult and $10 senior (65+) or students with ID. Discounts: PWYC Friday 10:30PM performances are pay-what-you-can. Free tickets are included with your purchase of an ACT membership ($40/month, 6-month minimum). ACTPass lets you see everything offered on ACT’s Mainstage and in ACTLab.
