10-Minute Play Festival
After reading approximately 200 plays which were submitted for consideration for the Parish Players' 2012 Ten Minute Play Festival, we have chosen the following seven plays for production: The Blind Date, by Charlie Buttrey Upper Downer, by W.D. Wetherell Safe, by James McLindon Japanese School Girl Night, by James McLindon When the Money Went Sideways, by Faith Catlin The Catch of the Day, by Laura Neubauer The Last Egg, by Ron Burch We thank all of the other playwrights who submitted plays. Many of them were seriously considered, but we could only pick for production a small number that could be presented in an evening. It is possible that we may decide to produce others in future years. If we are interested in other plays later, we will contact the authors at that time. Again, thank you to all of you who submitted plays. A ten-minute play is a streak of theatrical lightning. It doesn't last long, but its power can stand your hair on end.
Each year, both novice and published playwrights submit their work to our ten-minute play festival. This exhilarating event was an instant hit at its inaugural production in February 2007--and our audiences have loved it ever since. Who knows what this year will bring! |

According to one recent critic, "Endgame is the masterpiece that sorts out the men from the boys when it comes to admirers of ... Beckett." "Funny, bleak, merciless, arresting, touching, unsparing, mysterious" have all been adjectives used to describe this iconic drama. It is nothing if not an extreme embodiment of the extremities of human existence, and how could it not be completely relevant today in this great "end of times" year of 2012, as when first performed in 1957.
Guaranteed to be a memorable experience for audiences, frequent Parish Player director, Belinda Ray, also guarantees a creative, fun and inventive rehearsal process. Explore the opportunities to flex your acting muscles as creative casting is considered.
Contact Belinda for more information or to schedule separate audition appointments. Non-acting collaborators, also most welcome.
