Since 2011, the Portland 10MPF is an event MWHAO produces 2-3 times a year. The Festival features new plays written, directed and performed by Portland artists - with a live musical act in between each play. Every play is ten minutes or less and every festival features a new theme. The theme for this play fest is... Nature! Every night will feature all six of the Nature-themed plays produced in this festival - so enjoy all of the acts and music on any of the four performance nights. The 10MPF is a very fun, well-attended event, and there is nothing else like it in the city!
In the Nature Ten Minute Play Festival you will experience: a singing tree on the edge of sanity, one man's fight against the weeds on his lawn, an adopted dog torn between his old pack and a new kitty friend, a cracked ex-employee attempting to thwart a CEO's terraforming plans, Mother Nature training her baby to be a contender in the ring, and an arborist trying to understand their teenager while dealing with an unhinged rabbit.
This play festival will feature music from the awesome local musical act, Junglecorp, with their new Nature-themed musical story performed in between each of the plays! Junglecorp leaves the audience thoroughly entertained and they are excited to be a part of the 34th 10MPF. Check out Junglecorp's music from previous play festivals and fun videos, and connect with them at junglecorp.org
The Ten Minute Play Festival is theater for everybody. MWAHO will never turn away audience members for lack of funds, and they have an open door policy where anyone can attend their writers workshops, submit a play or try out to be involved. These are your stories, Portland!
