10x10 Review in The Walleye

(Story by Michael Sobota)

The Seventh Annual 10x10 Showcase was presented on April 12 and 13 at Magnus Theatre. The showcase is a presentation of ten 10-minute plays by 10 playwrights. But 10x10 is much more than the showcase itself. The 10x10 team (Sheena Albanese, Jessica Krasnichuk, Nicholas Palinka, Jelena Psenicnik, and artistic director Cathi Winslow) offer playwriting workshops, followed by a script submission deadline in January, play and director selection, auditions, casting, rehearsals, and marketing. It is, in a very real, supportive sense, vibrant community animation. And Thunder Bay has responded enthusiastically, participating at all stages in the process and supporting the final showcase with sold-out performances. 

For practical reasons, it is impossible to critique all 10 productions. I will highlight here some of the strengths in this year's showcase. 

Susan Rogers, a returning playwright, asked several profound questions in her bright comedy Worth Less. What do we want? What are we worth? Perhaps even, who are we? ...

THUNDER BAY—The Seventh Annual 10×10 Showcase will feature the directorial debut of Nadia Cheechoo, the head carpenter at Magnus Theatre in Thunder Bay whose mother is from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory.

“I did a little bit of directing when I was going to [Confederation] College — I took the film program,” Cheechoo says. “We did three short films the first year and then our big thesis film the second year. I find that theatre is definitely a lot more [where] you’ve got to use your imagination because you only have the particular setting as well as the pieces that you get and the fact that it is live as well instead of being able to take multiple shots for film.”

Cheechoo is directing the play Baggage Check, which was written by Sue Blott and will be performed during the 10×10 Showcase later this week on April 12-13 at Magnus Theatre.

“Baggage Check is about an older couple who have been married for about 25 years,” Cheechoo says...
