twenty ten fest
Bedlam's Community-Professional Theatrical Showcase will showcase 21 very short new theater pieces in a mind-boggling range of styles.

These plays run the stylistic gamut from reflective drama to toy theater to lip-sync drag to a new short opera, with many stops in between. It will feature the work of new artists, creators, and performers, as well as such well-known members of the Twin Cities theater scene as Playwright Center writers Aditi Kapil, Carson Kreitzer and Dominic Orlando, and one piece created by Cedar-Riverside youth in workshops with Bedlam.

These pieces will be grouped into three sets and will be rotated six times during the course of two weekends. On April 21, Tru Ruts and Freestyle Theatre are curating an evening of 10 minute Hip Hop & Spoken Word performance.  Artists range from newcomers to heavy hitters including: Hip Hip lead artist of the BLEND;Toussaint Morrson, Karla Smith, Slam Champion Guante, Poetic Assasins, Reggie Edmunds, and selections by E.G.
