PLAYWRITING WORKSHOP this Saturday for The Barn Players 6 X 10 Ten-Minute Play Festival

BARN PLAYERS 6X10 FESTIVAL
CALL FOR SCRIPTS

PLEASE NOTE: The first workshop is on August 3rd (moved from July 27th).

Grab your pencils! Or laptops! The Barn Players Theatre is holding
its sixth annual 6x10 Play Festival on December 13th - 15th, and we are looking for some great scripts. The Festival will produce six short plays,
each roughly ten minutes in length and all by local writers. Tell us
a great story in ten minutes and you'll get the chance to see your
work performed on our stage.

Playwrights whose scripts are selected will be encouraged to
participate in rehearsal and to work collaboratively with the
director. They may modify their script as they watch it take shape on
the stage.

Playwrights also are welcome to participate in Writer's Workshops to be held at The Barn Theatre on August 3rd, August 10th and August 24th from 10am - Noon. There is no charge to participate in the workshop sessions. Participation in workshop sessions is not required for selection, nor is participation a guarantee of selection.
