Following a successful opening weekend, Actors Theatre Playhouse announces that its annual 10-Minute Play Festival continues with performances scheduled for the second and third weekends of June.
Audiences have responded enthusiastically to this year’s theatrical potpourri, which features seven mini-plays selected from more than 300 nationwide submissions. The festival, directed by Wendy Almeida, Rob Gray, Ian Hefele, Ann Linge, Brenda Seitz, Lin Sinder, and Burt Tepfer, delivers a diverse lineup of comedy, drama, and thought-provoking storytelling.
“We’re thrilled with the reception from opening weekend,” said producer Ian Hefele in a news release. “These plays pack a tremendous punch in just 10 minutes each. For anyone who missed the first weekend, you still have two more chances to catch this remarkable collection of new works.”
The remaining performance schedule includes evening shows at 7:30 p.m. on June 12, 13, 18, 19, and 20, plus a matinee performance at 2 p.m. on June 14.
