Sccriptwriters/Houston's showcase presents a collection of ten-minute pieces written by ten local playwrights. Plays for the showcase were selected by a panel of judges from the Houston theatre community. The winners have been selected and we are proud to announce the works and authors selected for this year's 10 by 10!

Target by John Kaiser

"A thriller-comedy about a man out late in a parking who is accosted by various threatening people, one in particular"

Forbidden Fruit by Elizabeth Keel

"The waitress and the Boss know it all. Will doesn't know Time Travel."

Family Portrait by Aaron Alon

"Mrs. Redding insults her children as the photographer works in this comedy."

The Workshop by Joe Barnes

"A group of young playwrights snipe and spill secrets while the elder playwright sleeps off a night of drinking. Edgy dialogue ensues."

Mornings by Joe Watts

"Two couples, males and females, interact about jealousy and death."

Unleashed by Carl Williams

"A romantic comedy where Molly gave Chester a ticket for walking his dog without a leash. Judge Ethan tries to find a happy middle ground for them both."

Dance With Me by Josephine John

"An older woman and a younger woman bond in an emergency at the department store... and they dance."

Cuteness by Leighza Walker

"A couple, 25-32, are still learning how to snuggle and baby-talk."

Upstairs Dirty Bomb by Eric James

"Two men and a woman joke with racial and sexual epithets about the terrorists who live upstairs."

Critics' Choice by Miriam Friedman

"A critique panel discusses Beatrice's play, often conflicted and zany in their suggestions, while a heckler in the audience speaks out."
