twenty ten fest: april 16-25, 2010
Bedlam’s Community-Professional Theatrical Showcase will showcase 21 very short new theater pieces in a mind-boggling range of styles.
These “plays” run the stylistic gamut — from reflective drama to toy theater to lip-sync drag to a new short opera, with many stops in between. It will feature the work of new artists, creators, and performers, as well as such well-known members of the Twin Cities theater scene as Playwright Center writers Aditi Kapil, Carson Kreitzer and Dominic Orlando, and one piece created by Cedar-Riverside youth in workshops with Bedlam.
These pieces will be grouped into three sets, and will be rotated six times during the course of two weekends. There will also be a ten-minute hip-hop series running in conjunction with the festival, with artists and schedules to be announced later.
