Artistic director Mark Armstrong said,
The world changed this week and The 24 Hour Plays did too. We’ve always made work about the most challenging moments in our lives, from 9/11 to Hurricane Sandy to the 2016 election, but writing and performing new plays in 24 hours without gathering was a singular challenge.
