The 24 Hour Plays has found a West Coast home.

The 31-year-old non-profit organization has just opened a permanent home in Los Angeles for the first time, inviting the West Coast entertainment community and audiences to participate in its services, performances and community building activities. Called the Huron Station Playhouse, it is located on 2640 Huron Street.

“Over the past few years, we’ve seen an incredible surge in energy from the Los Angeles community around The 24 Hour Plays, which prompted us to look for ways to solidify our presence here,” said artistic director Mark Armstrong. “In addition to our flagship events in New York, The 24 Hour Plays have a long history in Los Angeles. Our events in Los Angeles raised spirits after the September 11 tragedy, showed solidarity during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes of 2023, and gathered the community following the devastating wildfires of 2025. After nearly 25 years of productions, including at Los Angeles Theater Center, The Broad Stage, the United Artists Theatre at Ace, The Bourbon Room, and many more, I’m thrilled The 24 Hour Plays will have a permanent presence in Los Angeles.”

To celebrate the milestone, one of the org's trademark short play events will be held February 28. Four brand new short plays will be written, rehearsed, and performed in just 24 hours, in a true creative marathon.

The four new plays will be written by Steve Yockey (The Flight Attendant), Sofya Levitsky-Weitz (The Bear), Dave Harris (Tambo & Bones) and Mark Wilding (Grey’s Anatomy).

Actors set to participate in the February 28 event include Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men), Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), Justice Smith (Now You See Me: Now You Don’t), Pauline Chalamet (The Sex Lives of College Girls), Kiana Madeira (Fear Street), Kirsten Vangsness (Criminal Minds), Lovell Adams-Gray (Power Book II: Ghosts), Shannon Purser (Stranger Things), Rich Sommer (Mad Men), Coral Peña (For All Mankind), and more.

Directors for the evening will be Casey Stangl (The Cake), Jaime Castañeda (The Luckiest), Kate Sullivan (The End of the Party), and Stefanie Black (Adult Interference).

Additional cast and creative team members will be announced soon. Event tickets include an onsite afterparty with the cast and creative team.
