Rehearsals are under way as the Wagga School of Arts Community Theatre prepares for its annual Riverina Water Ten X 10 PlayFest.
The festival, featuring ten 10 minute plays, will be staged at the Nathan Room of the Wagga Commercial Club on June 16, 17 and 18.
This is the ninth year of this popular short play festival.
A total of 57 entries were received from more than 20 playwrights, with three assessors whittling them down to a final ten selections.
This year’s plays cover a variety of themes and characters, and promise plenty of entertainment for audiences.
This feature is supported by:
- Wagga School of Arts Community Theatre
Under the theme of Daily Dilemmas, the plays include the problems of house renovations, bad behaviour at a garden club meeting, do men or women get better roles in theatre, prayer in an automatic call centre style.
How does a checkout operator think about her job?
Unexpected twists occur when a hipster orders his coffee; who are the three extraordinary women seen away from the spotlight?
Directors and actors are now bringing these and other scripts to life so audiences can look forward to a varied night of theatre at the 2017 Ten X 10 PlayFest.
