| Mission The 24Seven Lab is an organization driven by the sole desire to develop new plays in a way that will benefit playwrights. Through multi-week workshops sessions, weekend workshops, an annual writers retreat, public presentations and community collaborations, we aid our fellows in their quest to turn great ideas into full drafts and full drafts into great plays. We don't lecture, preach, or teach. We provide emerging, independent, proactive playwrights with space, actors and dramaturgical support. We give them motivation when they’re feeling lazy, encouragement when they’re feeling stuck, feedback when they ask for it and copies when money is tight. We are always ready to work and happy to play, never limiting opportunities for past participants or closing our doors to new ones. History The 24Seven Lab was founded by Sharon Freedman, Edith Freni and Sarah Hayon, all graduates of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. The Lab’s inaugural session was hosted by the LES bar 247 Eldridge and ran for four weeks in February and March 2004. Over the last four years, The 24Seven Lab has aided in the development of over 25 new plays by graduates and attendees of the Brown, NYU, Columbia and New School MFA playwriting programs, the Lila Acheson Wallace American Playwrights Wing at Juilliard, and members of the LAByrinth Theatre Company, the MCC Playwrights Coalition, Partial Comfort Productions, and Youngblood, the Ensemble Studio Theatre's emerging playwrights unit. Our actors have worked locally on Broadway and off, regionally, internationally and in film and television. Additionally, we have produced numerous events, including collaborative projects with the New York NeoFuturists and the Crown Point Festival, as well as fundraisers, workshops and public readings. |

| Welcome to the online home of The 24Seven Lab! Our first annual Spring Writer's Refuge was such a success, we really can't even find the proper words to describe it. So we figured we'd show, not tell, and present to you, our faithful friends and followers, the work that we developed over the course of our 5-day retreat at the gorgeous Lifebridge Sanctuary in High Falls, NY. Please join us for The 25th Hour and see what we did in the woods. If you can't make it to the readings, the best way to show your support is by making a quick and easy, tax deductible online donation by using this link to Fractured Atlas. We met our Refuge fundraising goals because people like you appreciate that what we're doing is not only worthwhile, but necessary. We can't do it without you so whether it's $5, $50 or $5,000 your donations are always appreciated. |
