Scriptwriters/Houston 22nd Annual Ten by Ten Showcase

Comments (0) By Adam Castañeda Thursday, Jun 14 2012

Ten is the magic number at Scriptwriters/Houston’s Ten by Ten Showcase. The annual production features ten ten-minute shorts by some of the finest playwrights in Houston. The plots range in tone from the emotionally dramatic to the amusingly absurd. In As We Knew It by L. Robert Westeen, the audience is witness to the perpetual cycle of life and death through linked stories. That work’s solemn tone will make a good contrast to the comedic scenario of Map of the Atoms of the Universe by Nicholas Garelick, which sees two friends battling it out over a technological invention with the potential to change the world.
