NO SLEEP NOVEMBER 2024

Six teams of playwrights, actors, and technicians have just 24 hours to create, rehearse, and produce a night of new short plays. Better get some coffee. Going a decade strong, No Sleep November is a beloved Kansas City playwriting festival featuring some of the city's top and best up-and-coming talents. A one-night-only lineup of in-the-moment works that will make you laugh, think, and cheer.

This year’s edition was held at The Ship in KC’s West Bottoms, November 10 - 11, 2024.
