鈥淎s an L.A. native, I鈥檝e never seen heartbreak across the city like I have this past month following the fires,鈥� producer Serena Berman said in an earlier statement. 鈥淔inding physical spaces to come together at times like these can be incredibly healing, and it鈥檚 central to our mission at The 24 Hour Plays.鈥�
A portion of the proceeds from this year's event will be directed to relief efforts for families affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, in partnership with Nefesh LA and its Fire Relief Fund.
