2014 Minnesota Shorts Play Festival STATE finalists
THE DETAILS
With more than 500 entries,
judges will narrow the scripts down to 100 semi-finalists. Those scripts go to a second round of judging, with the top 7 Minnesota
scripts and the top 7 national scripts receiving a chance to be in the festival. Local directors will pick a script and receive
a $100 stipend to gather a cast, rehearse and perform the play. If your play is in the top 7 scripts and you direct your
own play or find a director for it, it is guaranteed to be performed, and you will get the $100 stipend for the cast. The 8th and 9th place plays will be on standby in case a play cannot recruit a director
or cast or drops out before the festival. Each night, the audience picks a Best of the Festival winner. The playwright who
wins Best of the Fest will receive an extra $100. The
festival will run Thursday, Sept. 4, and Friday, Sept. 5, at the Mankato West Theatre in Mankato, MN.
