Creating the Ten-Minute Play

   Tuesdays, September 28 - November 2 (7-9 p.m.)

   Instructor: Claudia Haas

   Location: White Bear Lake City Hall

   Cost: $63 for six-week session

 

Lakeshore Players invites you to create your own streak of lightning in this highly informative class. The class will cover:

 

• Writing or revising a ten-minute play so that it is ready to be submitted to theatres;

• The components of a good ten-minute play;

• Making your play "ten-minute play festival-friendly;" plus

• Hints and suggestions for getting your play noticed and how to edit your play.

 

Because plays are written for the stage, the seminar will conclude with a read-aloud play evening as well as specific venues on marketing your play and getting it on a stage.

 

Your play will be ready to be entered in Lakeshore Players' Annual Ten-minute Play Festival as well as 100 other theatres. Bring a notebook and pen to class and get ready to write.

 

INSTRUCTOR: Claudia Haas has had over 100 performances of her ten-minute plays produced around the world. Her ten-minute plays have been published by three publishers and she is included in two anthologies of "Best Ten-Minute Plays" by Smith and Kraus. Her plays have twice won "best in festival" and have placed numerous times. Coming up: Minnesota Shorts Festival in Mankato will be producing her ten-minute Dog Day Afternoon in September. As a playwright who generally writes for youth performers, she loves the 'anything goes" and imagination quotient of the ten-minute play format.
