Are you a writer?  Or have you ever considered crafting a short play? Would you like to see your art performed on stage?

What about directing? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to direct actors live on stage?

Los Alamos Little Theatre is excited to announce our January show: the 8x10s! Eight 10-minute plays will be produced and performed at the Little Theatre and we need your help!

The 8x10s are one of LALT’s favorite ways to highlight local talent and let people try out roles like directing and acting. We are currently taking submissions for scripts, so if you have a hilarious piece about engineering students trapped in a closet, a gut-wrenching melodrama about a lost sock in the laundry, or anything in between we want to read it!

If you prefer to tell people what to do…I mean direct…we have opportunities for you too! We view the 8x10s as an easy foray into directing since it’s only 10 minutes. Whether you are a first-time director or a seasoned pro, we would love for you to join us! All directors will get access to a phenomenal directing workshop, free of charge, hosted by LALT and new directors can also request a Director Mentor to guide them through the process. If you’ve ever been curious about directing live theater, now is your chance!

For those of you that are more inclined to bring the art to life through acting, hang tight. We will be announcing our auditions a bit later, but expect them to be early November.
