Each year at the Ten Minute Play Festival, Theatre Oxford produces the Grand Prize Winner of the National Contest as well as plays written by local playwrights. Neil White, author of the play Lepers and Cons and the memoir In the Sanctuary of Outcasts, will conduct a ten minute playwriting workshop in the spring. This is a perfect opportunity to hone your skills and get a script ready to submit for next year’s Ten Minute Play Festival. The workshop is set for May 7, 2011. Come pen your own short play and perhaps it will be on stage next season!
Theatre Oxford’s Annual Ten Minute Play Contest is accepting submissions!
