In just three years, the wildly successful new play competition Stage It! 10-Minute Play Festival has truly become an international theater event. Playwrights and judges from around the world participated by writing, submitting and adjudicating 280 separate 10-minute plays, and over the final weekend in April, this process comes to its spectacular culmination with a live production for 10 of these plays at the Festival. Short plays are a huge hit with audiences in Southwest Florida, and in three years the festival has more than doubled in size. Last years festival was performed to capacity audiences and spawned an equally successful spin-off series entitled Funny Shorts Live. A majority of this years winning plays are comedies, but we have verse, existential, a teen play, and one based on live interviews. Subjects include agoraphobia, class reunions, driving tests, sisters, mothers and daughters, bank robbery, and homelessness. From heart-wrenching drama to uproarious comedy, there is plenty for audiences to enjoy.Each of these top notch 10-minute plays will be performed four times during the festival (In Alphabetical Order):After the Intervention,by W.L.
