And we want YOU to audition!
Whether you're a seasoned performer, an old hand coming back to the stage, or a new actor trying the stage for the first time, TenFest is a great opportunity to connect, create, and shine.
Join in the collaborative energy, and have a chance to be part of something truly fun and local!
Auditions are on Wed, June 11 @6:30 PM and Sat, June 14 @ 2:00 pm and will consist of cold readings with other auditionees. Come for one or both days, as you wish. Feel free to bring a headshot or resume, but those are not required. People of all ages, genders, and experiences are welcome.
Auditions, first read-through, and performances are @ The Valley Players Theater building

First read-through/meet and greet will be on Saturday, June 28, from 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm.
(If the weather is good, we will meet outside, so make sure to bring a lawn chair and snacks!)

Who we are & what we do...
We are theater artists from many disciplines, and
we are theater lovers who want more original works.

What do we do?
We promote original theater works written by Vermont Writers. We consider a Vermont Writer anyone who has lived in Vermont for a period of three consecutive months at any time in their lives. We believe that in living a season in Vermont, people create lasting connections to the state that they take with them when the move, and we recognize that our seasonal community members contribute a value to our local artist community.
Workshops
Currently, the workshop is being held on Zoom...
On the Third Tuesday evening of each month starting at 6:30 pm.
Please email vtplaywrightscircle@gmail.com for a current link to the workshop.
In August, we usually forego workshop due to the heavy lift of creating our ten-minute play festival.)
