Created and first produced by Eileen Moushey -- a longtime Weathervane Playhouse volunteer, actor, board member, and donor -- Weathervane's 8x10 TheatreFest is a new-play festival in which we select and present eight 10-minute plays culled from several hundred submissions sent in from around the world, all of them linked by a singular setting. Audience members get to vote for their favorite plays, with the winners receiving cash awards for their efforts.
Audiences at our 2025 festival selected a campground as the setting/location for the 10-minute plays of the 2026 festival. Submission information for the 2026 festival will be announced in the fall of 2025. Watch this space!
