| Before we get so into the silly season that we haven't got time to scratch ourselves, the ten successful plays that made the cut for the 2009 installation of Ten In 10, we need to find them all a director and some actors to help bring them to life. The plays that have been selected are all very different in their own way and and each one represents an opportunity for a novice director to take the bull by the horns and garner some experience. STAG Inc. are holding a reading of the successful plays to help them find a director. The reading will be held at The Bakehouse, Wheeler St, Shepparton on Thursday December 11 from 7pm sharp. If you feel that you would like to be involved in Ten In 10, then come along because we need members of all ages and backgrounds to help bring it to life. Please note: Various plays within the Ten In 10 contain infrequent coarse language and adult themes of a sexual nature. |
