Island Theatre would like to congratulate Paul Lewis, the winner of this year’s Ten-Minute Play Festival.
Judges Michael Moore, Rene Longstreet and Doug Parker selected nine plays to be performed this past weekend from a pool of 47 submitted by Kitsap County playwrights.
On Saturday night, they named Lewis’ entry, “My Beautiful Voyage,” as festival favorite, with Matt Longmire directing and Shannon Dowling and Bronsyn Foster co-starring.
“My Beautiful Voyage” tells the story of a woman who embarks on a journey to Ithaca, New York, but keeps ending up on the wrong bus. She’s frustrated until she befriends two Greyhound attendants, and realizes the destination is not the point; the journey is about the people she connects with along the way.
Lewis is a playwright and composer whose staged work includes the play “Oblivion” (2015) and the musical “The Hours of Life” (2014). His one-act plays have been produced in more than 20 states.
