Ten original plays.

Three shows.

Two days.

Island Theatre will present the sixth annual Ten-Minute Play Festival, featuring local playwrights, at Bainbridge Performing Arts on Friday, Aug. 18 and Saturday, Aug. 19 at Bainbridge Performing Arts.

Out of 57 submissions from established and emerging Kitsap County playwrights, 10 were selected by a jury of theater professionals for production by Island Theatre directors and actors, officials said.

This year’s lineup includes: “Bloody Mary” by Aleks Merilo, “Flight of the Valkyrie” by Noah Barfield, “Gel Us” by Paige Zubel, “Jellyfish Apocalypse” by Karen Polinsky, “Lessons Learned” by Jenny Weaver, “Memories of an American Occupation” by Paul Lewis, “Moving On” by Caroline Smith, “Of a Feather” by Wendy Wallace, “Roadsides” by Betsy Dorfman and “Spreadsheet Me” by Jeffrey Brown.

Island Theatre’s previous Ten-Minute Play Festivals played to packed houses. Besides the delight of seeing entertaining plays written, directed, and performed by their friends and neighbors, audience members know that even if they aren’t crazy about one play, another is just 10 minutes away.

Now celebrating its 22nd anniversary, Island Theatre’s regular schedule includes bi-monthly staged play readings at the Bainbridge Public Library plus, in intervening months, potluck dinners in privately hosted homes at which all guests are welcome to join in a selected play reading. Island Theatre is an all-volunteer nonprofit.

Island Theatre’s Ten-Minute Play Festival appears at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 18 and Saturday, Aug. 19 at, a 3 p.m. matinee on Saturday.

There will be refreshments in the lobby an hour before showtime. The theater doors open 30 minutes before the start of the program. Visit Island Theatre online at www.islandtheatre.org for more information.
