<DIV>Since last fall volunteer readers have been poring over 10 minute plays –
over 150 of them. Then, in May, a panel of actors, directors and
other theatre-lovers held readings of 15 semi-finalists and chose the 8 plays
that would be produced and performed at Weathervane’s Second Annual TheatreFest
(July 13-15). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This past weekend, Weathervane presented those 8 finalist plays to the
delight of over 400 enthusiastic audience members. And the results are
in!</DIV>
