MINOT - In 1995, the 24-Hour Company was created in New York, when Tina Fallon, of Crux Productions, developed the first festival as a one-time way to have fun with fellow thespians.

This year a similar event at Minot State University is on Friday and Saturday. The performance will be at Aleshire Theatre, Harnett Hall, with the show beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The 24-hour plays are a string of short plays written, rehearsed and performed in 24 hours.
