MONTBLANC PRESENTS THE 10TH ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF THE 24 HOUR PLAYS ON BROADWAY

Montblanc presents the special 10th anniversary production of THE 24 HOUR PLAYS ON BROADWAY, an annual benefit event produced by the 24 Hour Company and Freestyle Picture Company for Urban Arts Partnership. THE 24 HOUR PLAYS ON BROADWAY attracts some of entertainment’s biggest names as they join forces to participate in an extreme rite of theater: writing, directing, and performing 6 original short plays, all in just 24 hours. This year’s production will feature a special 10th anniversary theme to celebrate the immense success of this partnership and the thousands of students who have benefited from programs made possible by this fundraiser.

The creative process will begin at 10PM on Sunday, November 13th, when the cast and crew gather at the American Airlines Theater for orientation.  After casts and crews have been briefed, each writer spends the night composing a ten-minute play.  The following morning, directors, return to read and select their piece and the cast rehearse throughout the day to prepare for the 8:00 PM performance for a live audience on Broadway.


Guests include Megan Fox (Transformers), Jessie Eisenberg (The Social Network), Tracy Morgan (30 Rock), Sarah Silverman (Saturday Night Live), John Krasinski (The Office), Justin Bartha (The Hangover), Lake Bell (How to Make It in America), Jack McBrayer (30 Rock), Jason Biggs (American Pie), Justin Long (He's Just Not That into You), Amber Tamblyn (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), Billy Crudup (Public Enemies), Carla Gugino (Watchmen), David Cross (Arrested Development), Diane Neal (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), Gabourey Sidibe (Precious), Greta Gerwig (Arthur), Kathy Najimy (Veronica’s Closet), Laura Bell Bundy (Hairspray), Michael Kenneth Williams (The Wire), Rosie Perez (Do the Right Thing), Rutina Wesley (True Blood) and more.
