THUNDER BAY – 10x10 Out Loud is back with new outdoor venue this year.
The performance featuring 10 10-minute plays written by local playwrights is taking place at the Spirit Garden at the Thunder Bay Marina Park Aug. 27 and 29.
“It’s very exciting, all of our actors have been involved through the pandemic doing theatre online, which can still be live, but it’s not the same as being in person, because you have the audience right there, you can hear them, so, they’ve been very excited, I’ve heard from actors and the audience members as well, how excited they are to be back together again.” said artistic director Cathi Winslow.
In previous years, 10x10 was held at the Magnus Theatre, and Winslow hopes to go back to that venue once the pandemic is over.
“We would prefer to be indoors, just, there’s a lot of contingencies, like right now we’re worried about the rain and the wind,” Winslow said,
“So, I think we would probably look at going indoors, but, who knows, we kind of have to re-invent how we’re doing theatre and live performance, everybody is doing that.”
This year’s production will look a little different compared to previous years, plays will be presented in short shows of two plays each instead of the usual format which is showing all 10 plays consecutively in a span of roughly 110 minutes.
Admission to the performances is free, but advance registration is required.
There is still space available for most shows and attendees can register here.
