"Puppet Regime," a 10-minute play written for a 24-hour play festival in September, 2025. Our actors, directors, and writers met at 8pm on a Friday night, cast shows via short auditions, and then playwrights were sent home to write 10-minute scripts before 6am. At 7:30am, casts and directors received their play scripts, started rehearsals, gathered props, costumes, and set pieces and got the shows together. This all culminated in a one night only performance of all the plays at 8pm Saturday night.

This play explores corporate education, silly brainstorming ideas, and what happens when you let a little puppet power go to your head. I wrote the play, and constructed all the puppets you see in this show.
