​48 Hours Theatre Inc.​
A Non-Profit Theatre Company​
ABOUT US
48 Hours Theatre Inc. is a non-profit organization that is driven to revolutionize the way theatre is produced, perceived, and represented. 48 Hours was ​established in 2012 by Taylor Bradley in an attempt to raise the bar for both original theatre and modern theatre in general. Also, to reinvigorate modern theatre, incorporating social media and young artists to engage and challenge a younger audience. With such a rapidly growing community of instant gratification addicts, theatre must adapt to fit the needs of this new generation. 48 Hours produces primarily original works that range from 75 - 100 minutes in length. Our theatre company strives to produce visually captivating, classically inspired pieces of theatre that romanticize the ugly parts of life and embrace the power of a great story in a valiant effort to breathe new life into the theatre, and inspire theatregoers and non-theatregoers alike.
