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.

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.
