CREEDE—CRT’s Company Generated 10-Minute Play Festival is back for its fourth year on Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. in The Ruth Humphries Brown Theatre. One of the most exciting nights of the season, the festival features original plays written, directed and acted by our talented company like you’ve never seen them before. In May, all past and present Creede Repertory Theatre company members (across all departments) are given a one-word theme to inspire these 10-minute plays. This year’s theme is Pilgrimage and the selections are as follows:
A Scavenge by Brian Watkins, directed by John DiAntonio
Mother Mary of the Mournful Heart by Lojo Simon, directed by Rick Reeves
Returning by Mandy Heath, directed by David Cohen
Shrimping by Mark Exline, directed by Logan Foy
June 19, 1999 by Sky Bradley, directed by Anne F. Butler
And that’s not all. This year, we are proud to introduce the 24-Hour Play Challenge! A four-person team, led by playwright Zoe Ruth and director Graham Ward, will write, stage, rehearse, memorize, and design a play in just 24 hours. On Sept. 4 at 7 p.m., the playwright will randomly draw the title of the play that will be created and performed only 24 hours later.
Join on Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. in The Ruth for this not-to-miss night of exciting, challenging, brand new work! This is a walk-up, pay what you can event. The 10-Minute Play Festival/24 Hour Play Challenge! and all the Headwaters events couldn’t happen without the support and dedication of the audience.

About CRT’s Headwaters New Play Programs
The 10-Minute New Play Festival/24 Hour Play Challenge! is developed under the Headwaters New Play Programs. Located on the Continental Divide, Creede lies at the headwaters of the Rio Grande. Similarly, CRT’s Headwaters Program is the source of new plays of the West. Over the last decade, one-third of all CRT productions have been original plays, and, like the Rio Grande, they all started at headwaters.
