The Tin Ceiling and the NonProphet Theater Company to collaborate on seven/24/seven

St. Louis, MO – The Tin Ceiling- producers of engaging and original
theater in St. Louis for nine seasons- announce an exciting
collaboration with The NonProphet Theater Company for their annual 24
hour play festival, seven/24.

seven/24 is a mad dash to write, cast, rehearse and perform seven 10
minute plays in the course of 24 hours. Fourteen writers will be
paired up into seven teams, and will have 12 hours to write a short
play. Once the plays are completed, they are handed over to seven
directors, who then cast the shows from auditions held the night
before. The cast and directors then have 12 hours to get the play
ready for a public performance at 8:00pm that night, come hell or high
water. It's always exciting, it's always fun, and you never know what
will happen.

This is the eighth installment of seven/24 that the Tin Ceiling is
producing, and joining them on this adventure will be the NonProphet
Theater Company, known in the St. Louis region for producing
critically acclaimed theatrical productions, as well as their award-
winning sketch comedy show which is now celebrating its 12th year.

"This collaboration is absolutely perfect for our two companies," says
NonProphet Managing Director Tyson Blanquart. "The Tin Ceiling is one
of the most daring theater companies in St. Louis, and the manic
energy that goes into these shows fits the NonProphet motif quite well."
