A wild ride of fun, freedom, and creativity, 24Hour Play Generator ‘25 is jam-packed with WA youth talent, ambition, and determination. Strap yourselves in as the plays jump from page to stage in 24 hours!
This June, WA Youth Theatre Company (WAYTCo) presents its signature 24Hour Play Generator, the most anticipated night on the winter theatre-goers calendar. Delivering on the excitement for the nineth consecutive year, WAYTCo has mastered the model, producing six new ten-minute plays in a whirlwind production process – without fail some of the freshest and boldest work in the country!
On Saturday June 7, Writing Day, a room full of keen young writers aged 15-26 will pen for 12 hours straight, assisted by dramaturgs Jeffrey Jay Fowler, Donna Hughes, Emily McClean and WAYTCo Artistic Director Amelia Burke. These creatives will that night select six winning plays.
At break of dawn on Saturday June 14, six directors will receive their script, a youth assistant, a youth cast, and a space within the Subiaco Arts Centre in which to carry out an intense 12-hour development and rehearsal.
At the 24th hour, audience members will arrive to enjoy six world premieres in one evening: The freshest work in the state!
The 2025 line up of professional WA directors includes Humphrey Bower, Elise Wilson, Alexandria Steffenson, Ruby Lorraine, and WAYTCo artistic director Amelia Burke. What will these experienced hands do with youngbloods and a furiously ticking clock?
WAYTCo’s 24 Hour Play Generator pushes participants to their creative edge, incubating some of the most exciting and untapped talent in the state. You don’t miss WA’s next generation of artists rising to the challenge.
