9th Annual 10 By 10 Festival at ArtsCenter

by Patty Griffin | June 25 2010

10 Plays, 10 Minutes, 10 Actors, Only 10 Bucks! This international festival of new, 10-minute plays brings to the Triangle the very best of the 10-minute format. July 8-25, Thursdays-Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 3:00pm at The ArtsCenter, 300-G East Main Street, Carrboro, NC 27510. For tickets visit ArtsCenter or call (919) 929-2787 ext. 201.

From over 550 scripts submitted from all over the world – including Australia, Israel, Russia, and Spain – a panel of theatre artists has selected 10 plays for this production. 10 By 10 2010 features 5 world premieres – including Somewhere Out There by David Rabinowitz. Not only is “Dave” a Carrboro man, he is also a member of the Playwrights Roundtable, The ArtsCenter’s resident playwrights lab. 10 By 10 is, after all, international theatre at its most local.

The Playwright Gala is Saturday, July 10 and Meet the Artists is Saturday, July 17.
