The 10-Minute Play Festival is an evening of short, original plays written and directed by students. Featured
plays include:
The Shores of Memory by Meagan AuBuchon
Directed by Emma Griffin
A play about memory and learning to live with loss, as two siblings search for an
elusive Swallow-Tailed Kite.
The Bad Canary by Asher Thompson
Directed by Adam Martin
Two strangers meet in a grungy music club on the day of its destruction by a wrecking
crew. Will either of them survive?
Lamb Play by Emily Lackey
Directed by Emily Lackey
It’s rush week at the Kappa Alpha Beta fraternity, where the legacy of Stonewall Jackson
meets the sudden discovery of a moral compass, and the fate of a baby lamb hangs in
the balance.
Dreamers and (Un)Doers by Mark Garvin
Directed by Jonathan Monk
A memory play, a romance, a nightclub scene that might just be a dream. What if our
dreamer could go back and make better choices, to save the woman she loved?
It’s Just a Kiss by Luke Shelton
Directed by Asher Thompson
Two actors rehearsing a romantic scene, one director without a clue. In the absence
of guardrails, feelings run the gamut from rage to attraction to love. Can something
true emerge from the chaos?
Planet Fart by Morgan Passley
Directed by Bradley Gittens
A planet in outer space, menaced by enemy forces. A young princess who’ll sacrifice
anything to save her people. A place where bad smells are good, and good just might
win out over evil — hilariously.
Theatre South Carolina embraces non-traditional casting and encourages the casting of ethnic minority actors, female actors, and physically-challenged actors where possible. Individual show directors, together with the artistic director and the acting faculty, make all casting decisions. While some parts may be cast before auditions, that is always the case with guest actors.
