Several months ago, The Fine Arts Association put out a 'Call for
Submissions' for unpublished 10-minute works for consideration for our
Annual One Act Festival - "Hot from the Oven."  We were thrilled to
receive almost 300 submissions from playwrights from the East Coast to
the West Coast and every place in-between, including many other
countries around the globe.  The Fine Arts Association is thrilled to
bring 10 new works to our stage for the 10th Anniversary of our One Act
Festival.
