or those who feel that there isn't enough competition in theatre, this is the event for you. The 24 Hour Theater Project takes all the fun of writing and staging a production, but compresses it enough to make it agonizingly stressful for everyone involved. Last night at sundown some of Miami's best playwrights were given a random title, most likely something ridiculous, and told to write it by sunrise. Then the eight finished (or unfinished) scripts are handed over to some heavy-hitting actors and directors and made to stage it by the end of the day. At 8 p.m. tonight, you can see the finished results, for better or for worse, at the Miracle Theatre. It's like regular theater, but much more painful for everyone involved, which makes it much more entertaining for you.
