And the Finalists for our 2013 Ten Minute Play Contest are . . .

I was going to write a snappy little intro to the blog and talk about the crazy number of entries we got, and how much fun my entire staff and I had reading all these playlets . . . but you don’t want to hear that.  You just want to know which 10 Ten Minute Plays made it to the finals.

So, without any further  bugaboo, here are your Ten Minute Play finalists, in alpha order (so don’t try to read anything into it):

1.  Bayonets of Angst: The Story of Lincoln and McClellan by Rick Kunzi and Justin Zeppa
2. Gifted by Chris Nelson
3. Gun Play by Chris Friden
4.  Happy Trails! by James Pravasilis
5.  Jake & Lindsay by Garrit Guadan and Justin Anthony Long
6.  Landscape With the Fall of Icarus by Simon de Carvalho
7.  Meeting Mr. Right by Stephan de Ghelder
8.  MTA: The Musical by Peter Saxe
9.  Pointlessness by Marissa Lee Kohn
10.  Taking the Plunge by Greg Edwards and Amanda Louise Miller

Congratulations to all of you!  You’re all guaranteed to walk home with $50, just for being a finalist, and one of you is adding another zero to that prize and getting a sweet $500.

How will we decide which one will win?  Well, plays, 10 minutes or not, were not made to be read, they were made to be seen.  So we’re putting up all 10 of them!

On Thursday June 20th at 7 PM at our studios, we’re presenting a 10 minute Play Festival featuring the 10 plays above, and you’ll help choose the winner!  Get your tickets here and we’ll see you there.

And congrats again, finalists!
