Don’t have time to commit 10+ hours a week in our full productions? No problem! The Musical Theatre Troupe hosts two 24-Hour Musicals every year – one in September and one in January. The 24-Hour Musical event encompasses three (3) student-written 20-minute plays, which are united in a common theme. Performers will rehearse a 20-minute musical in less than 24 hours and perform in front of an audience!
Can I perform* in a 24 Hour Musical?
We accept any and all people who audition – as long as they’re available for the performance and the entire rehearsal process!
*We ask that performers pay the membership fee and sign the AMS Club Waiver before they perform as part of an MTT production.
