Overnight Theatre

In 2020, Lana Scott Stringer and Jake Lane cofounded Overnight Theatre as an independent theatre company that produced almost 150 short plays that were written, performed, produced, edited, and presented in under 24 hours. Lana herself wrote, performed, and/or directed over 25 of these plays. A collection of her written works from this experience is coming soon, but for now, feel free to check out Overnight Theatre at large on the archived website or the project’s Youtube channel.
