More stars have joined the lineup for the upcoming return of The 24 Hour Plays On Broadway, which will take the stage at NYC's Town Hall October 23.
The 24 Hour Plays On Broadway sees theatre, TV, and film stars converging to write, rehearse, and perform brand-new plays and musicals about the world we live in—in just 24 hours. For this year's iteration, participants will gather the evening of October 22 to share a costume and prop that they've been asked to bring, after which teams will hold brainstorm sessions. Authors will write new works overnight, ready for actors and directors to start rehearsing October 23 in the morning for the evening performance.
Joining the list of writers making new works on the fly are Mona Mansour (The Vagrant Trilogy) and Jacquelyn Reingold (The Good Fight). As previously announced, the team of playwrights will also include Jesse Eisenberg (Happy Talk), Kenneth Lonergan (This is Our Youth), and Christopher Oscar Peña (Insecure).

Knight (It’s Only a Play), Mark Linn-Baker (My Favorite Year), Bebe Neuwirth (Chicago), Alison Pill (Three Tall Women), and Alyah Chanelle Scott (The Book of Mormon).
