48 Hours to Put on a Show

Cast 8: 1F 20’s, 2F 30’s, 2F 40+, 1M 20’s, 1M 30’s, 1M 40+

Synopsis: The Theatre Outstanding Competition, a major theatre event that offers its winners not only a national tour, but this year, a television special and international access as well. So it’s no wonder that teams will find ways to give themselves the edge. Even if that means breaking rules and sabotaging others in the process. Up and coming director, Leah Harris, is bearing the brunt of these attacks, but she is still determined to fight fair. However, as an added distraction, she’s also dealing with dueling stars, divorcing crew members, and a team liaison who barely knows his stage right from his stage left. And she only has 48 hours till show time! It’s going to be the longest, and shortest, 48 hours of her life.
