Future Ten 6

F-10 Play Summit...We're Causing a Riot!

Ten new short works by playwrights from Pittsburgh and beyond will be featured November 5-7 & 12-14, 2009, in this sixth installment of a local theater tradition. This years theme was directly inspired by the G-20 Summit, which took place only blocks away from our performance space.

Future Tenant, an alternative art space located to 819 Penn Avenue in the heart of Pittsburghs Cultural District, will present F10 Play Summit Were Causing a Riot! Split into two weekends (Thursdays - Saturdays), the festival will feature a varied collection of topics, plots and characters. This years festival will also feature a Protestor Challenge during which audience members will compete with each other for the illustrious designation of Worlds Wackiest Protestor.
