Ten-Minute Miscellany

May 2-4 · 2025
FRI-SAT 7:30 PM · SAT-SUN 2:00 PM
Nominated for a Wilmington Theatre Award and a perennial audience favorite, Ten-Minute Miscellany celebrates the short play genre by offering ten different plays from ten different local writers.
With styles ranging from dark drama to kooky comedy, the show offers something for everyone. Each short play drops the audience into a different place, time, and mood. Watch what happens when…
• A therapy skeptic attempts analysis for the first time in COUNSELING.
• Second-marriage newlyweds find their lives upended by their decorator in INTERIORS.
• An ordinary airline flight turns into a white-knuckle experience in EMERGENCY LANDING.
• A gang of thieves hits a snag retrieving their loot in ON THE LAM WITH WOLFIE.
• Good friends ruffle each other’s feathers (or is it fur?) in WAITING FOR DOGGO.
• Two strangers unspool the power — and burden — of the names they’ve been given in HI MY NAME IS.
• A young woman pushed to the edge hatches a chilling plan in FRIENDLY FAVOR.
• Two young hearts face a life-changing crossroads in GIRL ON THE BEACH.
• A routine police interview spirals into something unexpected in JUST A GOOD SAMARITAN.
• A mild-mannered couple’s anniversary night at the theatre veers wildly off-script in PLACES.
