Veteran's 10-Minute Play Festival 2024

Cast List

10/25/24

Thank you to everyone who came out to audition for the Veteran’s 10-Minute Play Festival! We had an incredible turnout of talented actors this year, which made the casting process both exciting and challenging given the limited number of roles available. We were mindful to offer opportunities to students who are not acting in other department productions. While we couldn’t cast everyone, please know that we truly appreciate your hard work and the talent you brought to the auditions. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you in the future!

Below are the cast lists and the directors you will be working with. Scripts are attached to the email that was sent out on Friday 10/25/24. The stage manager, Carl, will be in touch with you next week about picking up hard copy scripts. The general rehearsal schedule is posted below; Carl and the directors will reach out to you directly to go over the details. Please feel free to email them with any questions. Thank you all for your patience! We are looking forward to working with you!
