NC 10by10 Play Festival Goes Virtual
Cary, NC — For the NC 10by10 Play Festival, the show will go on — even in a pandemic.
The Cary Playwrights’ Forum and Carrboro’s OdysseyStage have teamed up to present the annual NC 10by10 Play Festival to an entirely virtual audience. The event will be live-streamed at 8 PM on September 18, 19, 27 and 28.
Locally Written Performances
The festival is made up of 10 thought-provoking plays that are each 10 minutes in length. Entirely written by North Carolina playwrights, the performances have been adapted for an online experience with attention paid to technical ingenuity and creativity.

The featured plays include:
- ‘The Bluebird’ by Eric Weil
- ‘Rain Like Tears’ by Elijah Moore
