PLAYWRIGHTS & HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS: 2009-10 PLAYWRIGHTING CONTEST RULES

Directors and actors from across the Twin Cities!
Lakshore Players' Short Attention Span Theatre Presents

A ten-minute play is a streak of theatrical lightning. It doesn’t last long, but its power can stand your hair on end.
— Eric Lane, author of Take Ten

5th Annual
10-Minute Play Festival
JUNE 4-7, 2009

Each year, both novice and published playwrights from around the world submit new works to our ten-minute play contest. We pick only the ten best for performance in our June Festival. Since we started in 2005, our contest has become highly regarded among playwrights—and a hit with audiences. Winning plays for this year are all shades of comedies! (Content varies. Some plays may not be suitable for younger audiences.)

Tickets: $12 Regular, $10 Senior/Student
