The 2024 iteration of The 24 Hour Plays On Broadway takes the stage at NYC's Town Hall October 21. The annual gala performance 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.

This year's roster of performers includes Avantika (Mean Girls), Ignacio Diaz-Silverio (Primo), Henri Esteve (Grown-ish), Ari Graynor (The Sopranos), Margarita Levieva (Spread), Delaney Rowe (The Everything Pot), Faith Salie (Approval Junkie), Lois Smith (The Uninvited), Sarah Steele (The Good Fight), Brett Azur, Ato Blankson-Wood (Cabaret), Devon Bostick (Diary of a Wimpy Kid), David Burtka (How I Met Your Mother), Catherine Cohen (Only Murders in the Building), Dylan Gelula (Unbreakably Kimmy Schmidt), Morgan Siobhan Green (Hadestown), Josh Hamilton (Eighth Grade), Rachel Hilson (Love, Victor), David Krumholtz (Leopoldstadt), Jaime Neumann (The Deuce), Larry Owens (A Strange Loop), and Jen Tullock (Severance).

Writers include Rachel Bonds (Jonah) and Douglas Lyons (Table 17), joining Mario Correa (N/A), Josh Koenigsberg (High Fidelity), Meredith Scardino (Girls5eva), and Steve Yockey (The Flight Attendant). Directors will comprise David Auburn (Proof), Satya Bhabha (Shameless), Sherri Eden Barber (Hamilton), Will Frears (Misery), Victor Malana Maog (Her Portmanteau), and Pippin Parker (Betrayed).

The evening will also include special appearances by Colin Cosell (the voice of the New York Mets) and mentalist Vinny DePonto (Mindplay).

This year's event will honor the inaugural 2007 class of The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals with The 24 Hour Plays Creative Community Award. Barber and Koenigsberg, both 2007 alumni, are co-chairing.

“Gathering as young peers for The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals in 2007 was a formative experience for us all, leading to lifelong friendships and continuing artistic collaboration,” Barber and Koenigsberg said in an earlier joint statement. “Since then, the members of our class have become artistic directors in theatres across the US and UK, starred in plays, television, movies, have had work produced all over the country and been nominated for Tonys, Emmys, Golden Globes, Drama Desks and once a Golden Basement Award from an old Edinburgh man who claimed to work for The Fringe. We’re honored to be celebrated as a group and support The 24 Hour Plays in their ongoing important work of bringing the next generation of talented theatre artists together.”
