The play’s the thing.
A night of 10-minute and one-act plays
Dec. 1, 2011
Rowan County Arts Center
7 p.m.
All plays directed by Gary Eldridge
10-minute theatre.
Initially, you might think of this as theatre for our attention-deficit-disordered society.
In this age of rush-rush-rush twitter-mad impatience, it’s easy to see the obvious attraction of some rapid fast-food drama.
And yet, these plays are not simply an empty-calorie drive-thru combo meal to be gobbled without thought or enjoyment.
That is not what we have here at all. Like all art, these plays explore topics of life, death, love and loss.
Consider this program a nutritious six-course feast especially prepared just for you.
So tonight, slow down a little, and savor these original plays by local playwrights.

A couple minutes of thanks…
These plays were written in the fall of 2011 by writers in a Playwright Workshop led by Gary Eldridge and Carol Mauriello.
We thank them and the 10-Minute Players who have volunteered to participate in this readers’ theatre.
We also thank the Rowan County Arts Center and especially Director Rhonda Logan-Bailey for providing us with a wonderful space and gracious support.
Finally, we thank the W. Paul and Lucille Caudill Little Foundation for its generous support of the arts and this project through its Fuse the Muse grants. And we thank Rhonda Logan-Bailey for her tireless work at the Rowan County Arts Center.
