Theatre Oxford is set to continue its annual Ten Minute Play Festival September 12\u201315.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since 1997, the passionate volunteer-led Theatre Oxford<\/strong> has been creating and delivering theatrical works for the community of Lafayette County<\/strong> in North Mississippi<\/strong> and beyond. Theatre Oxford is committed to producing small-town performances that rival big-city quality. Theatre Oxford strongly believes in the emotional power of storytelling and in the special ability of the theater to bring diverse people together for enrichment and fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fall, Theatre Oxford is so excited to announce the continuance of their
annual Ten-Minute Play Festival<\/strong> from September 12\u201315. Upon receiving a matching grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission<\/strong> for $3,300, Theatre Oxford will be showcasing eight plays that were selected, through an anonymous reading process, from 260+ submitted ten-minute plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submissions were sent in from all over the country, and Emily McClain<\/strong> was the winner of the $1,000 prize, with her piece \u201cSecret Family Recipes.\u201d Included in the eight showcased plays are solicited pieces like \u201cGrief has Waltzed on my Heart Tonight,\u201d by local writer William Boyle<\/strong>, and \u201cThe Full Moby Dick Experience\u201d by local writer Jack Pendarvis<\/strong>. Directors of these plays come from the Oxford community as well as the local University of Mississippi<\/strong>. With eight plays, eight directors and 40+ characters, this is a night of excitement and fun for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event will take place at The Powerhouse<\/strong> in Oxford, Mississippi<\/strong>, from Thursday, September 12 through Sunday, September 15. On Thursday and Friday, the show starts at 7:30 pm, on Saturday you can catch it after the game at 8 pm, and on Sunday there will be a matinee at 3 pm. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Theatre Oxford box office or online here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shows will be performed every night, and the evening will include an emcee, a cocktail cart, and so much more. Come and enjoy the creative storytellers of the Oxford community and be a part of a festival filled with enrichment and fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
