The 2022 Orange County Ten-Minute Play Festival will run on September 8th thru 10th at the Sugar Loaf Performing Arts Center.
Thursday, September 8th thru Saturday, September 10th
434 playwrights submitted new, unpublished scripts, including entrants from New Zealand, Canada and throughout the United States. A distinguished judging committee, consisting of theater professionals, has selected plays that show originality and style. The twelve winning plays will be presented in full productions.
The plays run the gamut of comedic styles. Whether satire or farce, highbrow or lowbrow, these plays were selected to make us laugh. Featuring actors in a variety of plays, playing multiple roles ads another element of excitement to the weekend. Tickets are available for one evening or for both.
This years event will showcase twelve short plays. “The selection process this year was rigorous,” said Paul Ellis co-producer, “we had over four hundred submissions from as far away as the Philippines and as close as Washingtonville.”
