CHICAGO – The late playwright August Wilson left a gift to the world in the form of his “American Century Cycle,” a series of plays each individually set in a decade of the 20th Century, focusing on the black experience. Chicago’s Goodman Theatre presents Wilson’s “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,” now through May 19th, 2024 (click here).

ICT’s 3rd Annual
24 Hour Project
See what happens when a group of playwrights, directors, actors and musicians join together to create a world premiere night of theatre in only 24 HOURS.
ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Sat., Jan. 26, 2007
8pm or 10:30pm
Acting Studio Chicago
10 West Hubbard St.
Seating is limited, so reservations are strongly recommended! For reservations or ticket information, call 312.458.9780
The clock starts ticking on Friday, January 25, at 8pm.
Four playwrights are each shown a different image that somehow relates to RIGHTEOUSNESS (ICT’s season topic). Each playwright has 12 hours to write a short play inspired by that image.
In the remaining 12 hours, musicians compose music for the plays while the directors and actors rehearse. Exactly 24 hours from the project’s beginning, a world premiere evening of theatre is performed before a live audience!
