The Department of Theatre will present the 10-Minute Play Festival at 7 p.m. May 9 in Severns Theatre.<\/p>\n
Nine students in David Charles Goyette\u2019s upper-level playwriting course were assigned to draft, critique and revise a 10-minute play, knowing at the end of the semester the play would be performed. The finalized scripts were handed off to Dana Smith\u2019s staged readings course where students had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the contents and bring the plays to life.<\/p>\n
While some students were enrolled in both courses simultaneously, others were only enrolled in one course. The process resulted in camaraderie and the strengthening of the theatre community.<\/p>\n
Below are the nine plays to be performed.<\/p>\n
