15th Annual 8 Tens @ Eight Play Festival

Returning to Actors Theatre for its 15th annual season, the hugely popular 8 Tens @ Eight festival of 10 minutes plays opens January 15th 2009 for a five week run ending on February 14th. Regarded as the opening of the Santa Cruz theatre season, the festival highlights the work of eight different playwrights in eight short plays.

Under the artistic directorship of local actor, director and playwright, Brian Spencer, this years festival promises a mixture of light and heavy theatrical fare to please a diverse audience. It features the work of several local playwrights as well as the work of writers from as far away as Wichita, Kansas. The works represent a range of styles and subjects from stark realism to existential; from edgy comedy to deep drama.

Davis, Your video work is awesome on this. Or I assume it's yours. I think you should be giving yourself video credits.

And yes, I do plan to come, but not until Feb when I get back from Esalen.
