Wego Drama kicks off a ‘Timeless’ season with ‘30 Plays in 60 Minutes,’ a Neo-Futurist show

Wego Drama at West Chicago Community High School celebrates the 100th anniversary of the high school building with the season theme of “Timeless.” To start the clock racing, Wego Drama has partnered with the Neo-Futurist Theatre to create the original show “30/60: 30 Plays in 60 Minutes.”

Inspired by the Neo-Futurist principles of truth, honesty, transformation, chance, risk, and brevity, Wego Drama has created a fun and unique evening of live theater for everyone. Thirty original plays will be performed in 60 minutes. When the clock starts, so do the shows. Will Wego Drama beat the buzzer? Find out on Sept. 18-19.
