OXFORD — The annual 10-Minute Play Festival is back! An Oxford community favorite, featuring the winners of the 10-Minute Play contest and other finalists, brought to life by Theatre Oxford. This production has been a town favorite since 1999, featuring new performances chosen from the international competition, brought to the Powerhouse stage Feb. 14 and 15.
Several plays will be showcased, including the grand prize winners, “95 Tiles” by Bethany Teames and “The Southerner” by Jenna Worsham, along with the third-place winner, “Supergirls” by Kathryn Ryan. Theatre Oxford received 240 submissions from seven countries and 36 states for the competition.
The show on Feb. 14 will be at 7:30 p.m. There will be two shows on Feb. 15, with one at 2 p.m. and one at 7:30 p.m. There will be a Q & A with the winning playwrights and playwright Desta Wondirad on Saturday, Feb. 15, at 4:30 p.m. at the Powerhouse.
The festival will also include two playwriting workshops. They are: “Character Research for the 10-Minute Play” by playwright Wondirad (this workshop will be offered in person and by zoom) and “Sketch Writing” by actor/playwright Connor King (this workshop is virtual only).
