À propos de cet audio

 In this episode of the 78644 Podcast, host Steven Collins sits down with Eric Beck, Director of Gaslight-Baker Theatre, to talk about the 24 Hour Play Festival where seven original plays are written, directed, rehearsed, and performed all within a single day. This year’s event featured something new: a play written by a kid and directed by a 9-year-old. The episode also highlights a haunting behind-the-scenes short film shot by local filmmaker Brandon Gray in the spirit of David Lynch. It’s a celebration of community creativity, rapid storytelling, and pure theatre magic. From late-night writing sessions to quick-turn performances, this episode captures the energy and spirit of a unique Lockhart tradition.Guest in This Episode:Eric Beck - Director of the Gaslight-Baker Theater, discussing the 24 Hour Play Festival.What’s Inside:The complete process of creating seven plays in 24 hours, from draw to stageHow a 9-year-old directed his peers in an all-kids productionThe evolution of the festival and how it's grown since 2021The artistic lens Brandon Gray brought to the festival through filmThe teamwork and joy that fuel this one of a kind theatrical eventEpisode Highlights:[00:28] - What is the 24 Hour Play Festival?[01:06] - Writers draw actors, write overnight, and send scripts by morning[02:08] - A kids play directed by a 9-year-old steals the show[02:54] - The origin and growth of the festival[03:46] - How the Baker Theatre adopted the format[04:11] - Props, costumes, and keeping it simple[04:54] - Thoughts on Brandon Gray capturing the event in David Lynch style[06:01] - New format helped sharpen the plays[07:09] - Not a contest: just pure collaboration and support[07:30] - Short film by Brandon Gray: “True North”Follow Our Guests:Eric Beck: https://www.instagram.com/ersatzdog/ Gaslight-Baker Theatre: https://www.instagram.com/gaslightbaker/ https://www.facebook.com/GaslightBaker/ / https://mygbt.org/ Brandon Gray: https://www.facebook.com/brandon.gray.984/ https://www.instagram.com/graybeardfilms/ Follow our Host:Steven Collins: https://www.instagram.com/deadmanonline This Episode is Sponsored by:Wella Foods: https://www.instagram.com/wellafoods/Thunderbird Bar: https://www.instagram.com/thunderbirdbar/ PrintingSolutionstx: https://www.instagram.com/printingsolutionstx/ Gaslight-Baker Theatre: https://www.instagram.com/gaslightbaker/ Courthouse Nights: https://www.instagram.com/courthousenights/ Crystal Glaze Photography: https://www.instagram.com/crystalglazephotography/ Gray Beard Films: https://www.instagram.com/graybeardfilms/ Texas Hatters - HishatLady: https://www.instagram.com/hishatlady/ Follow 78644 Podcast:Website: https://www.78644podcast.com/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/people/78644-Podcast/100089192381124/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/78644podcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@78644PodcastSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/78644/exclusive-content
