The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem and Winston-Salem Writers announce auditions for the 10-Minute Play Festival
The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem and Winston-Salem Writers will hold auditions for seven plays that make up this year’s 10-Minute Play Festival. Video submissions will be accepted August 17-31. Roles are available for actors ages 17-50.
The 10-Minute Play Festival features the winning plays from a competition held each year by Winston-Salem Writers. Originally slated to be produced by The Little Theatre in June, this year’s Festival will be performed online, one play per night, Sept. 28-Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. each evening.
The winning plays include “A Hole in the Fence” by Abigail Franke, “U Up?” by Ken Ashford, “Broken Arrow” by Bradley Stephenson, “First Day on the Job” by Becky McLaughlin, “The Affliction” by Tim Wiest, “PunctuatedRomance” by David Ratcliffe, and “The Next Station” by Cameron Kent.
Directors for the plays will include Michael Burke, Gregg Vogelsmeier, Jae Campbell, Ashley Pearson, Chad Edwards, Suzanne Vaughan, and Britt Stone, who is also coordinating the Festival.
Character descriptions are detailed at www.ltofws.org/auditions. Actors are to prepare two modern monologues, one dramatic and one comedic, both under one minute long. The two monologues need to be submitted in one video, which should include the actor’s name and the play(s) and character(s) they are auditioning for. In the email accompanying the video, actors must include the following information: their name, age, the play(s) and character(s) they are auditioning for, and their availability/schedule for rehearsals. Emails and videos should be sent to kristina@ltofws.org.
Rehearsals will tentatively begin the week of Sept. 7. Rehearsals and performances will be held via Zoom.
