Actors Theatre Playhouse Announces Open Auditions for the 2025 Ten-Minute Play Festival
The Actors Theatre Playhouse in West Chesterfield, NH, is thrilled to announce auditions for its Ten-Minute Play Festival, kicking off the 2025 season. This dynamic and engaging production will feature a collection of short plays, offering actors the opportunity to showcase their talents across a range of roles and genres. The festival will run for nine performances throughout June 2025.
Ten Minute Play Festivals have delightfully been described as ‘Popcorn for the Brain’ and over the years the Festival has proven to be one of the Playhouse’s more popular programs.
The scripts are the result of a National Playwriting Competition the directors undertook to find eight extraordinary new plays. A review of over four hundred entries produced a collection of diverse, thoughtful and entertaining material that make this evening of plays a special treat for theater goers. Ten Minute Play Festivals have become a popular genre throughout the theater world. Thousands of these plays have been written by well-known playwrights as well as neophytes and students of theater.
In a 10-minute play, the audience is dropped into a single moment in time.
