10 Minute Play Fest: Original plays created by the Green Shirt Community

Festival Theme

Feeling Torn

We all can relate to feeling pulled in multiple directions during the Holidays. It’s a funny time to be a human being, the complexities of life on full display. Great joy and sorrow. Humor and anger. Excitement and fear. Disgust and lust. The world is full of contradictory truths, but never more than during the Holidays. This winter Green Shirt is diving into duality as we explore feeling torn in opposite directions.

Your play should be roughly 10 pages long (a minute per page) and must include: 

* An element of repetition.

* A Holiday decoration.

* One or more character feeling contradictory feelings.

All donations from this event support the Green Shirt Studio Scholarship Program.

The Green Shirt Studio Scholarship Program helps financially support students seeking training in Levels 1 - 5 of our Meisner Acting Program - one of Chicago’s premiere acting training programs. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and will allow us to assist as many students as possible.

Green Shirt Scholarships launched in April 2020 to help our community continue studying with us under the economic pressure of COVID-19. As of October 2022 the generous donations from our community have helped over 45 students continue to pursue performing arts training.
