Procrastinators need not apply. Daegu Theatre Troupe is running a 24-hour theater event this weekend in which participants have to create a short play from scratch in a single day.

In “Once Upon Another Time,” writers, actors and directors meet in the evening and are split into teams. They will have until 8 a.m. to come up with a 10-minute script based on a given theme and the fairytale characters and props assigned to them.

The casts will then rehearse the script before the curtain goes up.

The event starts Friday at 10:30 p.m. at MF Bar in Daegu. The show will take place at the same venue at 7:30 p.m. the next day.
