24-hour plays: DOTS festival

24-hours to write and perfom an original play! That sounds like a challenge…
Writing a musical in 24-hours…That sounds like a calling!
The festival pushed me to write a musical like show and memorize it as well, and we did it! Getting to do what you love with people you consider family is a win-win for me.

I love the energy of creating something original in a finite amount of time! You have to learn to trust your gut, your ensemble, and your creative instincts.
The bonus are the friends you make along the way! I can’t wait for our next short play festival! Let’s go!
