January 13 to 23, 2022
Weathervane celebrates the art of the short-format play with our 10th 8x10 TheatreFest. These submissions would have been seen during our 2019-2020 season. Each play is written with a specific prop selected by the previous season’s audiences.
Each of the eight 10-minute plays in this year's festival feature a common item: a take-out food container!
You, the audience, will vote to select the first-, second- and third-place winners of the festival. Audience members will also have the opportunity to help select the "signature inspirational prop for the 2023 8x10 TheatreFest!
