This weekend, Arizona Western college’s theater department is hosting its new short play competition ‘310 in Yuma’.
Five teams that met the registration deadline had 3 weeks to assemble their company and then write, rehearse and perform a 10-minute play.
"I mean I love the play that I’m in. I am in love with it but it’s very hectic because we got three weeks to do like, a full-on production” - Chloe Michaels
The challenges in the competition included everyone using the same set, assigned prop and a particular line of dialogue.
Chloe Michaels, one of the actors participating in the competition, shared her experience preparing to compete.
“I mean I love the play that I’m in. I am in love with it, but it’s very hectic because we got three weeks to do like, a full-on production,” Said Michaels.
A panel of judges will determine which of the five teams met the challenges and the audience will also have a chance to vote for their favorites.
The event will be held on Friday and Saturday at 7 PM and tickets are five dollars at the door.
