14/48 Hollywood: The World's Quickest Theater Festival

14/48 Hollywood is a fast-paced theatre festival built around a simple challenge: create fourteen original plays in forty-eight hours. Founded by Ben McFadden in 2022, the Los Angeles festival brings together playwrights, directors, actors, designers, musicians, and technicians to create fourteen new ten-minute plays from scratch over a single weekend.

As Founder and Artistic Director, Ben leads the festival’s artistic vision and production, creating a space where artists collaborate under intense time constraints to celebrate spontaneity, creativity, and live theatre.
