  • TenFest 2025

    The Vermont Playwright Circle’s TenFest season is officially underway

    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

    4254 Main Street, Waitsfield, VT 05673

    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!)

    Performances will take place on August 14–17 and 21–24, two weekends, from Thurs to Sat at 7:00 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm. Dress Rehearsal weekend: (Sat) Aug 9th and (Sun) Aug 10th.

    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.)
