An Exercise in Brevity: Vermont’s Ten-Minute Play Festival

A Vermont Theater troupe is mixing things up a bit this weekend with their first-annual “Ten-Minute Play Festival.” The Parish Players are billing it as "8 Tales of Love, Lust and Language". We’ll talk with some of the playwrights about what’s good and what’s not so good about trying to write such short, to-the-point performances.

Our Guests Are:

Marisa Kraus Smith, playwright and event organizer. Her ten-minute play is called The Dress Rehearsal

Joe Applegate, playwright and editor for the Valley News. His ten-minute play is called Is Hope Dead?

Bill Phillips, screenwriter and professor at Dartmouth’s Department of Film and Television Studies. His ten-minute play is called Breaking Up.
