Six plays to be featured at the 10-Minute Play Festival June 7-9

The contest is open to any playwright in North Carolina.   David Ratcliffe, the 10-Minute Play coordinator, remarked on how the contest has changed over the past 13 years. “We have moved from selecting three plays that were read script in hand, to the current model of fully memorized with some production elements.” The plays will be on the stage of the Gallery Theatre of the Generations Center, 114 30th Street. “To me, the festival represents opportunity. It’s an opportunity for novice and experienced playwrights, actors and directors,” said Ratcliffe. “This year we had 47 entries from playwrights all across North Carolina and our selected playwrights span the state from New Bern to Asheville.” The winning plays are: *“Best Worst Date Ever” by Judie Holcomb-Pack* and David Winship* of Winston-Salem  *”Halt!
