WAYTCo’s 24Hour Play Generator 2024

Let the clocks start ticking: 24Hour Play Generator 2024 is here!

A wild ride of fun, freedom, and creativity, 24Hour Play Generator ‘24 is jam-packed with WA youth talent, ambition, and determination. Strap yourselves in as the plays jump from page to stage in 24 hours!

WAYTCo presents its signature 24Hour Play Generator, the most anticipated night on the winter theatre-goers calendar. Delivering on the excitement for the eighth consecutive year, WAYTCo has mastered the model, producing six new ten-minute plays in a whirlwind production process – without fail some of the freshest and boldest work in the country!

On Saturday June 22, Writing Day, a room full of keen young writers will pen for 12 hours straight, assisted by dramaturgs Sukhjit Kaur Khalsa, Donna Hughes, Emily McClean and WAYTCo’s own Amelia Burke.

Six writers will, that night, have their work identified for staging. At break of dawn, on Saturday June 29, each director will receive a winning script, a youth assistant, a youth cast, and a space within the Subiaco Arts Centre in which to carry out an intense 12-hour development and rehearsal. At the 24th hour, 7:30pm, audience members will fill the main auditorium, hungry for a share in the excitement.
