The 2013 8x10 TheatreFest
Weathervane's Annual Contest and Festival of 10-Minute Plays

Weathervane Playhouse celebrates the art of the short-format play with the third annual 8x10 TheatreFest. Eight plays, 10 minutes each!

The "final eight" plays for the 2013 8x10 TheatreFest were performed on the Weathervane stage from July 16 to 18, 2013. A panel of judges selected the first- and second-place winners of the festival, while audiences voted to select the festival's "Fan Favorite." Audience members also had the opportunity to help select the 2014 festival's inspirational prop!
