14/48: The World’s Quickest Theater Festival is the centerpiece of The 14/48 Projects – 14 plays written, cast, directed, rehearsed, scored, designed, premiered in 48 hours.

The festival was the brainchild of Michael Neff and Jodi-Paul Wooster, who hatched plans for the festival while working at South Lake Union restaurant/gaming nightclub ENTROS. From humble beginnings, the festival has developed into a two-weekend, twice yearly gathering of Seattle’s most daring theater artists and audiences. In its 16-plus years, the festival has been produced at the Chamber Theater, Freehold Theater, Consolidated Works, Broadway Performance Hall, CHAC, Theater Puget Sound, On the Boards, the Erickson Theatre, and ACT Theatre.

This installment brings together veteran and virgin artists over the age of 36 to do their thing. I have the great pleasure of playing in the band!
