Island Theatre is inviting Kitsap County playwrights – both established and aspiring – to submit original plays, no more than 10 minutes in length, to the 2015 Island Theatre Ten-Minute Play Festival.

The top play, as determined by a panel of judges, will receive a cash prize.

Each selected play will be performed twice, once on each day of the festival.

Specific guidelines and more information can be found on the Island Theatre website (www.islandtheatre.org) or by calling 2016-842-3502.

Now in its fourth year, the Island Theatre Ten-Minute Play Festival typically draws more than 50 entries from throughout Kitsap County and plays to packed houses at Bainbridge Performing Arts. In contrast to prior festivals, in which each of the 14 selected plays was performed once, the 2015 festival will feature between eight and 10 plays, each of which will be performed on both Friday and Saturday night.

Founded on Bainbridge Island in 1995, Island Theatre’s mission is to provide quality entertainment, geared toward mature audiences, onstage as well as in less conventional venues – producing shows that push the intellectual envelope and challenge the artistic capacities of both performers and audiences
