Bedlam Theatre

Bedlam Theatre is gearing up for another year of Community Collaborative Adventures

The Bedlam Community Ten Minute Play Festival started in 2002 and every year comprises up to two dozen original short works.

The performances are all 10 Minutes (yes, we’re gotten strict about it), however the performances are not necessarily “plays”. We are gleefully un-strict about that!

Past performances have included:
One puppet/object shows
Dance pieces
Performance art
Weird visual-sound-collage-collaborations (What the hell was that…)

Why we do it:
Try ideas for new projects: Many of Bedlam’s bigger productions start at the play festival.
Meet New Artists: The festival is a great way to meet Bedlam artists, and for us to meet you!
Expand your talents: Here is a good place to step into a new area, be it acting, direction or design.
Work with community: Even if you don’t consider yourself a performer or never will be one again, this is the best place to see what being onstage is really about.

We will be accepting both scripts and project proposals.What if I don’t have a play written? No problem. We are offering a series of free play writing workshops at the theatre. The workshops will be held on 2/15, 2/22, 3/1, and 3/8 from 2 to 5pm.

All events will be at Bedlam Theatre, 1501 6th S, Minneapolis. We’re on the West Bank, right by the Cedar Riverside Light Rail stop.
