The Vermont Playwrights Circle, hosted by the (air conditioned) Valley Players, presents TenFest 2022
A festival of short plays by local playwrights (Now in its 15th year!)
This year's theme: "Out in the Open" The setting: a park.
Imagine what ten different local authors can do with the theme "out in the open '' after too many days shut in during COVID. There are plays with people, mosquitoes, dogs, birds, and even a Krampus. There are stories of love and deceit, friendship and family. Each play is a ten-minute slice of life that entertains, pulls the heartstrings, or makes you laugh.
Thursday, August 18th through Saturday, August 20th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, August 21st at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $14 general/ $12 seniors or children (cash or check at the door, no credit cards.)
