One day may not seem like much, but entire worlds can be created in 24 hours.

That was the drive for actors, playwrights, directors, set designers and more during 24-Hour Theater from Friday, May 9, at 7 p.m. to Saturday, May 10, at 7 p.m.

The audience at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre was drawn into four different worlds during four 10-minute plays created entirely the day before.

The project started out months ago, as Robin Weeks, coordinator of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and Tammie McKenzie, creative coordinator of the project, met and discussed the benefits Sedona could offer.

For the full story, see the Wednesday, May 14, edition of the Sedona Red Rock News.
