To the editor:

What a thrill it was for this year’s 14 winners of the Island Theatre Ten-Minute Play Festival to see their work performed before packed houses at BPA!

Thanks to all who helped make the event such a success: the volunteer directors and actors; the contest judges; BPA staff and Island Theatre board members; the Bainbridge Community Foundation and the Maggi Rogers Fund; Inside Bainbridge and the Bainbridge Island Review for media support; and, of course, the appreciative audiences.

Finally, a huge round of applause to our talented Kitsap County playwrights for providing a wonderful variety of dramatic storytelling to their community.
