Ten In Ten Playwright Festival

On March 26th, 2:00 PM at Theater Off Jackson, the 8th grade class is going to be performing ten plays, each of them ten minutes long, and all written and produced by us! Earlier this winter we were given the assignment to write a ten-paged play. We turned them in, and ten of those were chosen to be produced and performed at Theater Off Jackson for Seattle Girls' School "Ten In Ten" Festival. From hilarious disaster dates, to modern-day fairytales, these ten plays are all amazingly written and are currently being produced. We have been memorizing lines, reading scripts, gathering props and costumes, designing programs, and practicing makeup techniques. Our whole class has been working extremely hard to make the playwright festival as best as it can be! Below are the ten plays being performed on Saturday, March 26th.
