The 10×10 Intensive is a multi-faceted, broad community theatre project that annually concludes with a showcase of short plays. The showcase features ten plays by ten playwrights that are ten minutes long. This year’s showcase took place on April 29-30 at the Finlandia Hall; I attended the gala premiere on Saturday night, April 29.

These are the ten plays that comprised the 2017 showcase:

​GOLF LESSONS written by Jane Crossman, directed by Lynda Henshell. The play is a thin conceit about marital bantering on a golf course. In performance, Arlene Korhonen-King and Glen Paterson make the simplistic characters believable and director Henshelll guided them around the stage/golf course well.

BLUEJAYS IN THE BACKYARD AND OTHER LIFE LESSONS written by Meagan O’Reilly, directed by Justin O’Brien. Sheena Larson and John Welyki , a brother and sister who share a warm, intimate, yet casual conversation. Mom (Doris Quistberg) phones to provide a surprising twist in the end. O’Brien shaped fine, natural performances from this cast...

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO --- April 21, 2017  (:SN)  It’s exciting to discover creative people in your neighbourhood! On April 29 and 30, you will have an opportunity to experience dramatic stories created by ten different Thunder Bay playwrights at the Fifth Anniversary 10x10 Play Showcase, Saturday April 29 at 7:30 pm and Sunday April 30 at 4:00 pm at the Finlandia (314 Bay Street).

This year’s showcase features a futuristic sci-fi play by Roy Blomstrom, a retired high school English teacher who lives in Shuniah. Blomstrom has had a play produced in all five 10x10 showcases since 2013. Another playwright whose work has been produced four times by 10x10 is Jordan Lehto, a graduate student at Lakehead University, whose play  Little Endings  explores the relationship of two sisters struggling to find hope in the face of death.  Jordan’s father Michael Lehto wrote The Stranger, about a man facing a difficult choice. When he is not writing, Michael Lehto works as an accountant...
