10 Minute Play Fest - May 1

[Dwayne Butchino]

PLATTSBURGH (April 21, 2025) - The SUNY Plattsburgh Department of Theatre
will present a series of student-directed short plays in Downtown
Plattsburgh on May 1, starting at 5:30 p.m. for their 10 Minute Play
Festival. Artistic direction by Dr. Shawna Mefferd Kelty. The festival
invites the audience to two locations, Chapter One Coffee & Tea (30 City
Hall PLace), and The Strand Center for the Arts Gallery (23 Brinkerhoff
Street), to view the seven plays.

Chapter One will feature: Matriarchy by Robin Berl, Can Superman Smash the
Klan? by Sarah Bowden, Spoons by France Violet Jones, and Mimo by Luis
Roberto Herrera. The Strand Center for the Arts will feature: As the Crow
Flies by Zach Hancock, Dirty Dishes by Eric Braman, and Honest Lesson in
Self Defense by Patricia Lynn. Both locations will begin performances at
5:30 p.m., with a second performance starting at 6:30 p.m. This allows any
who would like to experience the entirety of the play festival a chance to
view all of the plays.
“The theme of this year’s play festival is inclusive community - the unique
or unknown everyday stories of the people who make up where we live. I hope
that we can share stories that need to be told, voices that need
amplifying, and experiences that are deserving of empathy,” Dr. Kelty
stated.
“The festival celebrates our student theatre artists as well as the
playwrights and strengthens the creative community here in Plattsburgh.
Theatre creates a space to start conversations and to create connections
(even if it isn’t in an actual theatre), building community through art. We
are so grateful to everyone who has helped bring this year’s festival to
fruition and look forward to sharing it with the community.”

Tickets for the 10 Minute Play Festival will be $5 for General Admission
and $3 for SA Members, or $5 for all at the door (cash only). Tickets may
be purchased online at https://campusgroups.plattsburgh.edu/themus/events/.
