World’s quickest theater (14/48)

Published 1:30 am Tuesday, January 16, 2018

What happens when 14 plays are created from scratch in 48 hours by dozens of actors, writers, musicians, directors, sound and light techs, costumers and more? 14/48 The World’s Quickest Theater Festival happens at 7 p.m. and again at 9:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 26 and 27, at Open Space for Arts & Community. Come see why 14/48 (a theater group based in Seattle) has left audiences around the globe surprised and delighted since 1997.

Experience magic on the stage and see the Island’s best (and special guests) test their improvisational and creative skills, when everything – from themes and props to directors and cast – is all drawn from a hat and the clock begins to tick. Unexpected and sometimes absurd, watch the miracle of theater emerge in a mad marathon of stage alchemy. Every performance is different!

Don’t miss it! Tickets available now at BrownPaperTickets.com, Vashon Bookshop and at the door; $10 student/$15 advance/$18 at the door. Parental discretion is advised due to unpredictable content.

14/48 will be staged at the Open Space in the Grand Hall and is a collaboration with Vashon Center for the Arts.
