24 Hour Play Generator
A wild ride of fun, freedom, and creativity! Strap yourselves in as the plays jump from page to stage in 24 hours!
Let the clocks start ticking…
The most anticipated night on the winter theatre-goers calendar is here!
2026 marks the 10th Anniversary of WAYTCo’s 24 Hour Play Generator! This whirlwind production process produces six new ten-minute plays across two Saturdays. The results are yours to see for one night only at 7:30pm 30 May 2026, Subiaco Arts Centre.
Artistic Director Amelia Burke has selected 6 professional WA directors to work alongside the WAYTCo youth members. On Saturday 30 May, at break of dawn, each director will receive a winning script, a youth assistant, a youth cast, and a space within the Subiaco Arts Centre in which to carry out an intense 12-hour development and rehearsal. At the final hour, audience members fill the main auditorium, hungry for a share in the excitement. Don’t miss the next generation of young artists rising to the challenge!
“With a fiercely ticking clock keeping you on your toes, [it] leaves no room for egos, stress or second-guessing.”
