Basin Lake Theatre Project, in collaboration with Cosmos Theatre Arts, is pleased to bring back to the stage in August of 2026 

The 24 Hour Plays – Out of the Box

Building upon the success of last year’s production, the format will remain the same: playwrights, directors, actors, technicians and stage hands gather to write, cast, direct and perform for an audience, six 10-minute plays – all in the span of 24 hours. It’s chaotic, stressful, exhausting, but most of all, fun!

This year, there will be one significant change: the plays will be performed in the round, in the Cosmos Theatre’s intimate black box. The event is an elaborately choreographed workshop that brings together the best local talent. So, whether you would like to be a participant or a patron, mark your calendar!

Auditions: August 7th at 7:00pm

Performance: August 8th at 7:00pm
