The Palace Theater will host a 24 Hour Improv Slam Saturday, March 6 at 8 p.m.

The Palace Players, Hamilton's community theater, invites teams to enter the competition. Teams consist of three to 10 members at least 14 years old who enjoy performing, and may or may not have any acting skills. Teams only need to be creative, spontaneous, possess a free spirit and willingness to perform live on stage in front of an audience.

Each team will have 24 hours to create a 7-10 minute skit based on a common theme.

For example each team would be given words such as "city bus" to creatively develop a skit around that theme. Each team captain will be notified of the common theme on Friday, March 5 at noon, then have 24 hours to work with their members to create an original skit. There will be rehearsals on the stage at The Palace Theater Saturday, March 6 in the afternoon. Teams are allowed to use props and costumes, but no set pieces. Judges will score each team on their originality and team work.

The team registration and $10 fee are due Feb. 26. Tickets are $5 available when the doors open at 7:30pm.

Registration forms are available by calling the Palace Theater.
