Heartland Theatre will hold auditions next Monday and Tuesday, April 23 and 24, for 18 roles available in their annual 10-Minute Play Festival. This year's theme is "Playing Games," which means that each of the plays involves some kind of game.
This year's winning plays, playwrights and directors are:
BOURBON WHISKEY RUMMIKUB
by Alexis Roblan, Brooklyn NY
It's time for Jake to meet the parents, but Sue insists that he learn - and master -- her family's favorite game before they go. Can this relationship survive cutthroat Rummikub?
1 female, 20s to 30s, 1 male, 20s to 30s
Director: Misti Somers
DESTINY'S TUG-OF-WAR
by John D. Poling, Clinton IL
Divorce, a new partner, a custody battle... This time, the one caught in the middle is a puppy named Destiny, after a scary trip to the vet brings the whole triangle and its tug-of-war into sharp focus.
2 females, 30s to 40s, 1 male, 30s to 40s
Director: Chris Gray
FINAL BINGO
by Meny Beriro, Forest Hills NY
Carol and June have been playing bingo in the same place for 20 years. But now that their favorite bingo parlor is closing, will they still be friends? Or were they ever friends at all?
2 females, over 55
Director: Sarah Salazar
I AM. I THINK.
by Jerry McGee, Brooklyn NY
Did you ever wonder if you existed, or if you were just a character in a video game? No? Well, the line between game and reality is only too real for Hector. Unless it's imaginary.
1 female, 20s to 30s, and 1 male, any age
Director: Kenny Kendall
IN MEMORY OF CALVINBALL
by Erin Moughon, New York NY
Ms. Murphy and Mr. Jones may've been playing their made-up game for three years, but it's probably more like three hours. The one thing they can count on is that no rule ever stays the same.
1 female and 1 male, 20s to 30s
Director: Matt Campbell
IT
by Mike Poblete, Brooklyn NY
Kyle and Judy are OVER. No more Ring Around the Rosy. No more sharing the Mickey Mouse car. But on the playground of their relationship, being tagged IT may be the ultimate romantic gesture.
1 female, 2 males, any ages
Director: Rachel Krein
MISSED CONNECTIONS
by Marj O'Neill-Butler, Miami Beach FL
Did Rosie meet Bob in the pasta section or the dairy aisle? Was he wearing red running shoes or scarlet Crocs? Whose "missed connection" was whose? Oh well. All is fair in the Mating Game!
1 female, 1 male, 20s to 30s
Director: Ron Emmons
WORD PLAY
by Austin Steinmetz, Columbus OH
If people find out that 5-time National Scrabble Champion Jerry Diddle has been hiding Es up his sleeves, he may just lose everything. Or he may find out there's more to life than Triple Word Scores.
2 males, any ages
Director: Marty Lynch
There are a total of 9 roles available for women and 9 roles for men, with all ages represented. Rehearsal schedules will be set by the individual directors, and performances will begin June 7, running Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through July 1.
