WINTERS, CA (MPG) - Drop into eight different moments over the course of 80 minutes and experience the unique cast of characters, emotions and stories that will be on stage at the 3rd annual winters theatre company 10-minute play festival!

The 10-minute festival has continued to gain popularity among the Winter’s Theatre Company community. This year the festival will feature eight 10-minute plays, without a specific theme, that will make you laugh, cry, sigh, and maybe think about things in a slightly different way.

The plays that will be performed are the result of an international call to authors to submit scripts according to established criteria for exceptional 10-minute plays. This year we reviewed over 100 submissions from across the country and the globe, resulting in an offering of 8 diverse, thoughtful, thought-provoking plays for our audience members.

These plays have been written by both new and established playwrights and they will be brought to life by a team of talented local directors, cast and crew. Our 2024 festival features the following selections:

Confessions of a Serial Dingbat – Written by: Barbara Weber (Pennsylvania) Directed by Jim Hewlett

Crossed Wires – Written by: Elle Bell (New Zealand) - Directed by Rodney Orosco

Doom – Written by: Leo McElroy (California) - Directed by Ana Kormos
