[NEohioPAL] Weathervane 8x10 TheatreFest - Recap!

[Eileen via NEohioPAL]

Weathervane Playhouse celebrated the art of the short-play with the 4th Annual 8x10 TheatreFest — 8 plays, 10 minutes each.    We had wonderful audiences and, judging from their reaction to the plays, it was another unqualified success!   Our call for entries went out last December and ultimately we received 150 plays, all of which had to include a Special Prop - an ornate box.   Our volunteer judges read all submissions and selected 8  Finalist plays, which were presented at 3 performances on July 11, 12, and 13, 2014.     

The audience members voted to select the top 3 plays.   Additionally, they also voted for the Special Prop which must be included in all the entries for next year’s competition – a vintage hand mirror.    Pictures of the mirror and all the details about next year's competition will be posted on the Weathervane website in late fall 2014.     The 5th Annual 8x10 TheatreFest will be held July 10, 11 and 12, 2015 so mark your calendars!
