For an evening guaranteed to lift your spirits, head over to PBD on February 26 at 7pm and catch the excitement of the Young Playwrights 10-Minute Play Festival, a program featuring the 10 winning plays of the second annual Young Playwrights 10-Minute Play Contest. Plays were submitted by students throughout Palm Beach County in grades 9-12, and we’re delighted to report that the number of participants increased by 85% over the inaugural competition. 

The plays will be presented as staged readings, directed and performed by PBD professionals. Immediately following the performance, each of the young playwrights will receive a $250 cash prize. Their work will also be published in a keepsake anthology.
