Ten original plays.

Three shows.

Two days.

Island Theatre will present its fifth annual Ten Minute Play Festival, featuring the work of local playwrights, at Bainbridge Performing Arts on Friday, Aug. 19 and Saturday, Aug. 20.

Out of 66 submissions from established and emerging Kitsap County playwrights, 10 were selected by a jury of theater professionals for production.

This year’s lineup includes: “The Royal Deluxe” by Jim Anderson; “Memory” by Sara Bartsch; “a.d.a.m” by Rob Burke; “Stella & Stanley: First Date” by Mary Dombrowski; “Benchwarmer” by Miranda Feldtman; “Poisoned Pens and Palates” by Judith Glass Collins; “Sleep” by Richard Leinaweaver; “One Night at the Hotel Barbary” by Paul Lewis; “The Easy Chair” by Ned Thorne; and “Plugged In” by Wendy Wallace.

Island Theatre’s 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 Ten Minute Play Festivals played to full BPA houses. Besides the delight of seeing entertaining plays written, directed and performed by their friends and neighbors, audience members know that even if they aren’t crazy about one play, another is just 10 minutes away.

Now celebrating its 21st anniversary, Island Theatre’s regular schedule includes bi-monthly staged play readings at the Bainbridge Public Library, plus, in the intervening months, potluck dinners in privately hosted homes at which all guests are welcome to join in a selected play reading.

Admission to the fifth annual Island Theatre Ten Minute Play Festival is $15 for adults and $10 for seniors/students. Tickets are available through Brown Paper Tickets. Visit at www.islandtheatre.org for additional information.
