Huge congrats to our 2025 24-Hour Playwriting Contest Winner, Spencer Jean Allder, and all the other honourable mentions! You can catch a reading of “God is a tree, is my mother, is me” on July 7th at Kevin and Roger Garland Cabaret. We had an incredible amount of applications this year, and want to congratulate everyone who applied. Writing a play is hard, writing a play in 24-hours is dare we say it... like really hard.
